Aberdeen Tin Hau temple. Lots of back checks and coasteering.

A bit of a "technical" trail with Ruggero & Barbie choosing some rocky sections of trail above and around Wah Fu.

A rare forage to the west of Aberdeen saw the pack head out and up up up through the graveyards and onto the road leading up to the main catchwater. Ladies (Denvy & Olya) went right and up to the top of the cemetry, Hopeless & Christian went left. Boys nail the Check, only then to be held up at the next 3-way Check with two false trails to the right on HK Trail 3, and a check back from the left on stage 2 going up to the old rocky HK trail that extends above Tin Wan estate towards Wah Fu.

The ladies caught up and swopped positions with the lads as a few CBs drew the pack together with Cheesy Flying Fux shuttling past the front runners on a regular basis.

Eventually, off the long downhill steps towards Wah Fu, another CB caught the front runners, for more rocky/uneven trail around the back of Shek Pai Wan Road before emerging on Pok Fu Lam Road and a marking "crossing" to take us over to the Pok Fu Lam Rd fire station.

More CBs, Checks and confusion around the 5km marker to finally find trail down the road towards Wah Kwai Road, and the waterfront. The Wimps started heading back along Tin Wah Praya Road while the Rambos went on to the small temple / statue area, falling for the (obvious) CB at Waterfall Bay Park to double back and climb over walls and rocks and wall of the MTR site to get back onto the long haul along Tin Wah to the fish market area.

The Check here caused somewhat of a bottleneck, the Wimps (out of chalk?) hadn't marked it, maybe shortcutted home, but finally Hopeless found the ONON, and ran back to the bridge to call on the likes of Denvy, Cheesy and the visitor. Back along the main road, in through the fish market / landing area, and through the subway back to the finish at the bottom of Aberdeen Reservoir Road.

9.56km for the Rambos with checks, Wimps around 7.5km.
