Went on the Park Island 6:30 ferry arriving at 7pm to find Britney wandering aimlessly having come by bus and not knowing where the beach was. We went onto the beach he was standing next to, to see a group of runners already finished - staggered runs are starting earlier and earlier like in the founding days when the China listeners kicked off at 4:30 - according to the LSW history.

So it was a dash back towards the ferry then through the fence across a small beach for the Rambos and across the rocks for a spot of coasteering around the north west of the island which the hare said would be better done during daylight. He was right. Through some mangroves then back up to the road to rejoin the wimps. A bit of village house running through the back streets eventually getting to the second split, opposite the fire station.

The wimps went left presumably on in while the rambos went right to head out into the shiggy again, across some concrete rebar construction platform, under the fence that was keeping it secure and on some trails going below the Tsing Ma bridge. We looped back to the bright lights again and I lost markings for a bit but came out back at the firestation and on home. A good run.

Some cake and beer and we all made it onto the 8:30 back to Central for some social distancing at the DB pier Beerbay.
