Night Hiking at MacLehose Stage 4-8


There is a need for such a way of Walking at night as we would go through one night of walking through the darkness during the 100KM Trail of Oxfam Trailwalker, even you are the Super Trail walker that can complete the 100Km in 12 hours. Then you may reach the finish point at 1100pm, still there are 5 hours of night walk. It is a Must for your eyes to adapt to the lighting condition on your LED head lamp and walk safely at night.
We did this for the first time of the year on the next day of Mid Autumn Festival on 24 September this year. We started at 2100 at Sui Long Wo and ended at 0800 depending on when your legs can carry you to...
I did only stage 4 as I had an appointment with the dentist next morning. Attached picture shows starting point that everyone looked so fresh and groommy... well, I can not post the picture of how we looked at the end of the day... We look.. ShiX!
Well. the best of the night walk is that you will sleep so soundly the next day additional 6 hours, and had so good appetite that you never had normally..
Note that a man need 1380 Calories a day only and this hours of hiking will take you away about 600 Calories a hour and a Hamburger will cause you additional 500 calories, and a Can of Regular Coco Cola is another 400 Calories!. So you should note that there is too much to eat.. then the belly will never get slim. The key is eating less and exercise more.
