A 1-boot Tramper walk from Hoi Ha to Tai Tan. The scenery was splendid and the route will be revisited during KOTH Leg 1 race (Dec 20th 2009).
Finished at Tsam Chuk Wan (Tramper BBQ center) for some good food.

King of the Hills is a 4-part hiking race, the first of which is on December 20th 2009. It’s in Sai Kung and the full marathon is 38km. Half is 18km. Don’t get fooled by the word marathon! It’s not a running race on concrete like the Standard Charted Marathon. It involves a lot of trail running, fighting overgrowth in several parts, etc.
We started in the morning at about 10.30am and finished at about 4.30pm. Nothing too spectacular. About 33km in total (we made a few wrong turns and somehow skipped 5kms!) The trail is gorgeous. One can see Sharp peak, Mac 1, Mac 3 under clear visibility. Trail running should be done carefully as the terrain is fill of stones and pebbles and lose gravel.
