Despite thunderstorm warnings, I was quite excited about this trip, as I rearely get off Hong Kong Island, let alone go all the way up to New Territories.

While I won’t go into details about the hike, I would like to mention the fact that I never expected such grand (and relatively clean) rivers in Hong Kong, nor was I expecting such infectious mosquitoes (3 applications of “OFF!” and I still got around 10 mosquito bites -_-;)

You can find the (more detailed) walk report here (scroll down abit)

Total hiking time: 14k in under 5 hours, stopping once to get our rain gear out, once to eat lunch, and once for a beer by some remote store while cleaning the mud off our boots.

ps. I’m mildly surprised that I managed to keep up as they were hiking at crazy speeds due to some time constraints and even more surprised I wasn’t really tired the next day. Legs were sore for a few hours after I woke up, but were gone by lunch.

pps. Next time I’m bringing a snack.
