Yung Shue Wan, Lamma

What a restful relief from the hustle and bustle of the MTR. A nice quiet ferry ride to the beautiful and tranquil island of Lamma. We gathered at the library next to the pier, changing into our neon running gear and disturbing the peaceful hippies wandering around in their kaftans. The hare warned us about some of the markings,

"Err they were set by my daughter."

And off we went. Out of Yung Shue Wan north along the shore and up into the fishermans village. Weird splodges of flour the size of small sandcastles interspersed with chalk pictures of birds, dogs with five legs and flowers. Lilly had been hard at work!

A check and up past Macau Drunk's house in Po Wah Yuen. Up to the top of the hill and then right down into Yung Shue Long New Village and over to the famous singing ashrams of Tai Peng. A little bit of confusion caused by a check at the sitting out area and then we were off down the path towards the Fire Station, the chanting fading in the distance. On the way to Hung Shing Yeh, we assumed, until we hit a check back. So back to the Fire Station and down the hill into Yung Shue Long Old village. Again another check and up through someone's pad over to the basketball pitch. The scene was freaky, the dharma was good!

Flower power kicked in and we were off up the hill towards Granny Chan's. We sped along the road like a far out wave of psychedelic threads until we hit a checkback and had to retreat back to the path up to the helicopter pad. Up the hill, over the cable path and then up to the top of the hill overlooking the wind turbine. Down to the turbine at which point we found the Rambo/Wimp split. Rambos off along snake path and wimps down to the right and back to Yung Shue Wan.

We were well and truly in the countryside now. The Rambos ran along snake path, up and down hill and dale, a good long fast run. We emerged at the Youth Hostel and it was right down the hill past the reservoir and down to the coastal path. Then right on the path and along the coast through Hung Shing Yeh, past the police station and back to Yung Shue Wan.

A fine run. Rambos was about 7 Km and wimps was very wimpy at about 4 Km.
