Pictures here.

I hate quitting due to physical/mental problems. Unfortunately, today happened to be one of those days where I had to throw in the towel.

Sun was out full force and we were scheduled to do Lantau stages 12 to 7 (reverse). I was doing very well until Shek Pik. Blisters were under control, energy was good and time management was fantastic. However, an exposed trail after Shek Pik completely killed my energy. I was unable to tell hot from cold and wasn’t able to continue at the same pace. Think I had a sunstroke. Regrettably, my hike ended at Ngong Ping. Slept well on the bus and was alright 30 minutes later. Guess I could have continued the hike but the decision had to be made in those circumstances and that resulted in my dropping out! Not pleased!

• Nothing for now!
