Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I hiked the Maclehose Trail section in Sai Kung East Country Park last week. Absolutely stunning views, but I got completely lost trying to find a less-used path someone mentioned online. The map was… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's trails can be… challenging. The official maps are pretty basic, that's for sure. I've had better luck using apps like Gaia GPS or AllTrails – they often have user-submitted tracks which are much more detailed than the park maps. You'll still need a good sense of direction though, and maybe even a compass. Don't rely solely on your phone's GPS either, battery life is a real concern out there. Check the weather forecast before heading out too – a sudden downpour can turn a fun hike into a real nightmare.
Totally agree. Sai Kung's trails are not for the faint of heart! I got completely turned around last time I tried one, even with AllTrails. The paths are often barely visible and the signage… well, let's just say it leaves something to be desired. I ended up bushwhacking for a good hour. Should of brought a better map, and maybe some extra water... Next time I'm bringing a proper compass and maybe even a whistle. You'd think with how popular the place is, the trails would be better maintained.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
