Original plan was to do Plover Cove in 2.5 hours. Was all set for that. Reached Tai Po KCR at 0750 but the bus to Wu Kau Tang had left at 0740. Next one was at 0940. No way I was going to wait so decided to take a bus to Tai Mei Tuk and then a cab from there to Wu Kau Tang.
Reached Tai Mei Tuk at 0810 but there was no taxi to be seen anywhere! Waiting till 0825 and then timed out that exercise. Instead, decided to do Pat Sin Leng, Hok Tau and Cloudy Hill.
Left near the Tai Mei Tuk bus stand at 0830. Was on the first summit of Pat Sin Leng by 0908 (38 minutes). From there, I somehow (AGAIN!) missed Hok Tau! Someone ended up at some junction where I had to choose between Nam Chung and Bride’s Pool. Chose Bride’s pool and the hike ended by 1008 (1 hour 38 minutes). Only 10Km in distance but quite a lot of ups and downs. Pat Sin Leng is a beautiful ridge. Saw Plover Cove from the top and was thinking that I should have been there!
