| MacLehose Challenge The dates for the next challenge have yet to be fixed |
Hong Kong’s longest hiking trail, the MacLehose Trail, begins along the deeply indented
and wild east coast of Sai Kung, before climbing onto the rugged peaks of the central
mountains, including Hong Kong’s highest, Tai Mo Shan. As it winds to its end at the
western part of the country, the Trail skirts impressive valley reservoirs.
Generally crossing higher land, the Trail offers memorable countryside experiences –
and the adventure of sustained hiking. Some stages of the MacLehose Trail are
surfaced roads, but most follow hillside paths. Hiking conditions are mostly easy to
moderate, with only a few sections needing strenuous effort.
Responding to requests, we have put together the following 6-hike challenge itinerary
covering most of the MacLehose Trail. The official trail is a mere 100-km, but as not all
stages of the Trail begin at a transport drop-off point, the total distance of the
MacLehose Challenge hikes comes to a whopping 127.5 kilometres.
Due to space limitations, we have given only a brief outline of each hike here, but please
feel free to contact us, should you have any questions regarding our MacLehose
Challenge.
As the minimum number of participants required for these hikes is just 3, the cost for
each individual hike is HK$250 per person, but there is a discount of HK$20 for
everybody should more than 4 people turn up for a hike. As an added incentive, all hikes
will go ahead as scheduled unless it is absolutely bucketing down with rain…
Within the Sai Kung Country Parks, we will be passing a few stores and – even –
restaurants, but once we reach Ma On Shan, we will have to carry all supplies needed
ourselves. Thus, please bring plenty of water and of your favourite snacks. Except for
the Eastern Hills hike, all legs of the MacLehose Challenge will incorporate a cooked
meal, either a late lunch or an early dinner. However, you might want to bring a light
lunch for the longer outings all the same...
