LSW 1735 – Taikoo Shing

 

Well they always say third time lucky. Such is the case for Dr. Evil. He definitely succeeded this time. Apart from a few murmurs from certain members of the group everybody was very pleased with this week’s run.

‘It will be the usual course with a few minor changes. Oh and be careful of the first Rambo, if it gets too much for you, you can get off at anytime. ’ we were told at the briefing.

What does he mean by too much? Too scary? Too long? Too steep? Too much shaggy? We were soon to find out.

With all that said we all set off along the trail which by now most of us new by heart and headed along the park until we turned right and went up to towards the fire station. Instead of doing the usual jump over the rock and up the water drain we were sent up to the dangerous three staged rambos. – THE LADDER.

God knows why this ladder has no barriers or railings stopping people from climbing it as it is, indeed, a jumper’s paradise. Dr. Evil sent us straight to the top of this vertical climb. One slip and it would have all been over, not just for you but those underneath you on the ladder. I, myself, am not really wimpish about such heights. but I do have to admit I was start to feel a little bit nervous as we neared the top.

Once we got to the top the trail led further up until we met a check and we sent us along the slope walls. After what seemed like an age, we finally found the way off the concrete paths of the slope as we headed off towards Shau Kei Wan where we found more steps and more concrete slopes.

With a few huffs and puffs and plenty of expletives, the trail led us up and up and up on some quite unwelcome steps towards the blue dog trail which runs around the back of Taikoo and Shau Kei Wan. We ran back in the direction of Taikoo expecting to hit the concrete catchwater at some point, but instead we were cleverly sent around an access bridge which took us down to the bottom of the Wilson trail and back out into the centre of Taikoo and on home.
