Hiking Ma On Shan

I was asked to come for a hike with the HK Trampers, on a 3-boot hike, 15km, 7 hours. It was a lovely day, clearer than most in the past month. What a day! Great people, some spectacular vistas and new experiences. Francis, the guide for the day, a marine cop (I could not resist and had to ask him where to get the best pot in HK..), took us on an ancient trail made of mossy rocks. It used to be a trail linking the villages, which today are in ruines (see last pic). We got on this well hidden-away trail rather late, so it was hard to take any shots. To top it all, we all jumped into a crystal clear stream. The next hike is supposed to take us to this river pools a little earlier in the day, so at least we can see it!

We started from Mo On Shan station and ended up in Sha Tin. What a day! Thanks to Ben for convincing me to come out on a Sunday.
