Chiu Keng Wan Shan 高俊苑登照鏡環山 16/9/22

smoggy　BF0-1　35^oC　 photos 相簿：[牛遊]
~0930從油塘站穿越數座屋苑(高翔 苑及高怡邨)上行，部份路段有扶手梯或電梯，省點力。來到高俊苑平台便探一下是否有機會出外圍，原來只能等住客拍卡出閘 落樓梯到高超道。旁邊另一舊樓梯本來更合我們，但當時不肯定，便往下到配水庫沿網上行[0949]，其實接回舊梯頂。上至闊 渠頂便越過它，再輾轉上攀，這段比較陡滑，亦多枝椏藤蔓阻路。出林後路徑較明顯，似是舊路，可惜沒留意到它下通的接口 。來到衛徑下方的晨運竇小休[1019]，實在太熱，快不了。衛徑至山頂段因數月前走過，便輕鬆完成。本來依照前人路線是沿 墳場頂後些走，但錯過了路口便索性於小休後[1045-1059]探發射站後方那條數月前發現路口但未走的，地圖app也沒有的路落 澳景路。這段只初時有少許林蔭，往後全是灌叢，且不時有疑似支路，幸好有路標帶。下通至石坡頂小渠[1120]，山友們直接 從石坡下車路，而我落至中段另一小渠便往右沿闊渠下走，滙合後往左邊的配水庫旁[1129]，繞到它左方，時左時右地落了數 層人工坡樓梯，中途還賞花。到達翠嶺路的聖安德肋小學對面後[1143]右轉，繞到善明邨旁的翠嶺里往盡頭的[1153]都會駅去 。穿越彩明商場落彩明苑[1205]＞寶順路＞唐明苑前過隧道唐明街對面的尚德商場午膳[~1236]，然後逛廸卡儂。解散後，獨自 再逛Popcorn, 晚上出海濱公園想乘涼[1913]，卻一點風也沒有。大休後折返天晉乘巴士。

青松觀+聖彼得廢校 4/8/22

Pouring rain again during lunch, it's a pity that I missed the chance of having lunch at the old vegetarian hall. Instead, the old one was closed, we had to visit the one at the new building, where one of us had to pay for one year membership before we could have our meal there. The CP value wasn't that high. I took some of my pals to visit the ruin of St Peter's school after lunch seeing that the rain had stopped.

藍地map walk +聖彼得廢校 3/8/22

when more than half way was done, it started to pour, so we went to have our tea before continuing. took the LRT to St Peter's church, went uphill on the opposite side of the rail for the ruin of the village school.

Map walk @ Signal Hill/King's Park

The map wasn't that up-to-date, fortunately our route was often under the shade.

HKCC+Map Walk @ Wah Fu (I)

Had my first visit of HK Country Club for an hour of free bowling game on my own between 10-11 am, it's part of the Sport Fun Day co-organised with the LCSD. Walked a bit to the WCH Stadium for the #73 bus since I just missed it outside the Club, and it took sometime for the next one. Got off at the Wah Fu (I) Mall for lunch while waiting for my friend. Just when we're leaving, it began to pour, so we're kept there for a longer period before starting our map walk at the estate.

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.
