A walk along Lam Kam Road 4/7/22

Only realised that the volunteer job was cancelled upon arrival... Waited for about an hour till the torrential rain had alleviated a bit before leaving. Strolled along Lam Kam Road, visited 放馬莆(林村許願樹) and had lunch there before moving on and dropped for a visit at Botanic Union, a floral farm. Arrived at 鄧氏的敬羅家塾 at around 1pm, it's lucky that the guard had her lunch there and didn't lock the door. The venue where I took a map walk last week was nearby, so I checked a few of the places again since it's too dark last time. The last stop was 廣福橋, seeing that the decorated boats for the 25th handover anniversary were still there, I decided to go along the riverside to the end of the boat queue. Perhaps it's more attractive after dark when their lights were on.

維港兩岸遊 1/7/22

free travels: After visiting Kowloon Park, took a free #1 bus to the pier for the free Star Ferry to Central. Already typhoon signal #3, unlike this morning, heavy shower had first arrived since I was waiting for the bus in TST. When another shower occured, I decided that it's tea time. The rain began to pour and I could only leave when it's alleviated a bit. I was still a bit reluctant to leave, however, the Observatory had already announced that signal #8 might be hoisted after 6 pm. Went to the miniature show of HK at Central Market, took the free tram to somewhere near EAB HQ, entered the buildings for a rain-free walk to the Statue Square for a pic of the 25th anniversary of the Handover installation. Went to City Hall via the subway, upon realising that the 60th anniversary exhibition had ended last month, I took the advice for a visit of a Chinese painting and calligraphy exhibition instead. Took several more pics of the exhibition in front of the Lower Block before hurried back home.

Tai Wo_Yuk Sau_Pine Hill 大窩＿玉秀峰＿松嶺 13/6/22

間中陽光　BF1　 31^oC　photos 相簿：[牛遊]
太和站乘21B小 巴($6.8)，遲了下車，結果在總站元嶺村牌坊醒覺，幸好往車尾走近百米便到大窩村牌坊[0902]。稍後步行前來的山友到了， 便一起去探路口，先到村公所附近停車場另一邊下去[0922]，繞過村屋到林邊查看，路是有的，但始終不是原先計劃走的，於 是回走少許入另一支，往剛才牌坊可通過來的路口續前行，入右支過小橋，便是有青苔的孝子路了[0932]，回頭等候大遲到的 山友＞近十時匯合後才折返登該山嘴。路徑明顯，過了墳地[1001]，大致似是行走於電纜棟樁間，不時有莫明的路口，而且通 常也有標＞一不留神見有落谷位的路也照落，因記得有段類似的路，可是走過泥濘斜坡來到淺溪時，發覺上游不見了，只有鋪 天蓋地的藤蔓，小溪在數米外於長草間轉彎，不能見到通哪。查看手機才知偏離了，上行折返alt.~60m，原來左支有更多標。 入內前行至alt.~80m時卻又再分支，先依原訂路線下行，但見最底是片滿地泥巴的小平地[1023]，沒見對面是否有路口。於是 折返探那更多路標的左支，原來它一直偏左上行，不似會接去原定的211山頭，反而可能直接去玉秀峰。由於不知該段難度，還 是返回踩過那泥巴地，幸好對面路口無塌樹或山泥，只是頗陡的林徑＞出林後漸平緩，卻也不肯定見到的是否從另一主脊接上 來的路口，大概是太密了。走過少段維修級[1104]它便右轉走，我們只有接回山徑，一會便是期待已久的211山頭的涼亭了 [1108]。路人告訴我們不久前曾有電纜工程，因此原本好密的山徑變得較明顯了。事實上她不知沿途仍有不少神秘路口呢，雖 然少部份似通去電纜棟樁，但大多不肯定通往何處＞小休後沒被下通大埔頭的梯級吸引到，堅持沿衛徑登玉秀峰[1140]測量墩 ＞前行入右支，初段風景開揚，遠眺馬鞍山至大埔頭一帶，接天梯[1144]落匡智松嶺中心[1221]，出頌雅路，穿過停車場頂往 富亨[1234]美食廣場午膳＞沿南運路南行，過林村河，於寶湖路入東昌街，繞到麗湖閣後巷，因不想攀過山腳那邊的欄杆。繞 走萬四長園，終於見到平時自巴士上見不到的那面，原來附加了一棟較新但無特色的樓房[1439]＞其正門位於廣福道，鄰居就 是小崗下的紅磚馬伕小屋Groom's Cottage[1444]。巴士站旁兩隻鷺鳥在馬路邊走動，樹下滿地雀屎，原來對面更多。山友告知 那是新聞提過的鷺鳥林，那麼即是綠匯學院所在的圓崗了。這邊的崗頂是挪威幼稚園[1452]，它曾是高級警官宿舍，可惜不許 內進。

前粉嶺裁判法院/青協領袖學院 11/6/22

下班後見無雨便前往，差不多抵達時便開始下雨，正欲離開時更是傾盤大雨。

Ｍ+ museum > Cultural Ctr 7/6/22

首次參觀，即場也有位。感覺似偽術，大多不吸引，似任何人也可做到，只少部份例外，主要為商業作品。看罷急步往文化中心捧友人的國畫展場，雖多為臨摹大師，但水準比Ｍ+的高很多。

綠匯學院＋前理民府 6/6/22

大雨中首次參觀前大埔警署所在的綠匯學院，沒碰上導賞，旅館圍住的天井便不能參觀。主樓側草地上旗杆為當初英人租借新界時，六日戰爭後建了磚屋，往後的升旗處。 前理民府現在是童軍地方，只可遊走於外圍，多年前那次來時好像連外圍也不可參觀。

樂華training＋啟德map walk 5/6/22

上午賽後先再探水道公園才去午飯，然後沿大街步往啟業，穿過它到德朗邨map walk.
