Stage Four is the longest and hardest trail of the 100Km of MacLehose Trail, the total length is around 13KM. with Ma On Shan as the first obstacle that you have to conquer.
Today there was hot weather warning, it was about 33 degrees, though we starteds at 0800 this morning, still we could feel the heat wave when we clawed up the mountain. We stopped our hiking at Kwun Yin Temple after 5 hours of good work out. I met KK Chan at end of the stage 4 who was moving fast and overtaken us in a few seconds.
Well. We will go for a night walk after the Mid Autumn Festival on 24 Sept.
We hope that the weather will be more favourable.

That is really test your endurance...nice!
Hi BK, More than an endurance test, as we underestimated this humid hot morning that evaporated our water awa. We had more than 2L of water everyone, and we found that most of us have not enough to cure the thirst at the end of the stage 4.
We drank Coca Cola, Soya bean drinks, herbal tea and Pokari Sweat like fish when we reach the Store at the Kwun Yin temple beginning of stage 5. We took 5 hours to complete a trail that usually takes us 4 hours!
I hope next time you come over HK, come and walk with us!
