| Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 01:48 pm There is a low peak west of Lion Rock, whose name I do not know. This Jan. I was in HK and went down ridge towards Kowloon Tong from that peak. There are ribbons marked "Ho Shan Wu Lung" (river mountain black dragon) presumably a hiking club. It is really steep but really neat because there is a groove right next to the ridge top, which enables one to descend steeply but safely. After the steep part is over, there is a huge gash in the middle of the ridgetop, which eventually opens up to become a canyon, then walk out on Lung Cheung Road.

| Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 06:42 pm Beacon Hill or sometimes Parker Hill is the high peak to the west. This is the small peak midway between Beacon and Lion. Of course that gash can be named "Parker". I would like to find the name of that small peak, maybe it has no name. Wing

| Friday, March 15, 2002 - 02:01 am Walking along the Beacon Gash is a nice half-day trip, though it is a bit exciting at certain points. We have some nice photos. Maybe we can share with you in the future.

| Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 01:24 pm I came back to HK again in Dec. and did the Beacon Gash again. Wonderful just like last time. I also tried to do the Rock Horse that this site describes. I did not bring a printout and went straight into the road and wandered around for a long time. Eventually I found a road that forks left, and that leads to the bottom of the abandoned quarry that you described. There are ribbons marking the way. I ran out of time and went up only half way. Next time. That road used to serve a village, and there is a park dedicated in 1983. Looks like the village was depopulated, and everything is in ruins. -Wing

| Friday, January 16, 2004 - 06:58 pm Jan. 4: I went up gov. trail from Park to reach MacLehose trail, which is gov. trail that goes along the main Kowloon Range to the north of Kowloon. Went west to reach Beacon Hill. On map on sign by gov. there is trail going down from Beacon, which I never did before. So went down Beacon south towards City. There is gate with sign saying "this is for electricity poles maintenance, does not go anywhere." Ignored that advice. Initially was paved with concrete and very steep, would be exciting if unpaved. Paved trail ends about 300' vertical down. Poles go right, but that direction is trackless. Main unpaved trail goes left to go down a ridge. Then gets more indistinct. Looks like I am in the top part of a gulch, and there are ridges on my left and right. Had to do trail clearing. Eventually noticed level swath going to right, followed that and got to top of the ridge to the right. Ridge is very open at that point, and the poles now follow this right ridge. Looked back and left ridge looks doable too, maybe will do the left ridge another year. Ridge has distinct trail going down. Eventually got to a very distinctive landmark. There is a flat rock to the left, looks like a platform, and a rectangular stone jutting out on its up side. Looked and saw it was a tombstone. Therefore people can stand on that flat rock to pay respect to this tomb. Occurred to me this is deja vu, in 1957 or so, went with old cousin up here and sat on rock. Cousin then noticed tombstone and said we'd better not sit here, I said it looked alright, this tomb does not look too frightening. I would never remember this episode except for memory being jogged by seeing it again! Rather strange location for a tomb, there is no tomb at all anywhere nearby. Nice trail that goes down to reach road, which actually switchbacks up Beacon Hill to the top, where there are communications facilities.

| Friday, January 30, 2004 - 01:54 am Hi! Glad to hear your very exciting journey.. I want to go on the same route too. Can you tell me the exact location by describing the grid reference of the map?

| Sunday, May 02, 2004 - 07:12 pm I haven't looked at this chatroom for a while, sorry not not replying sooner. I am coming to HK again (too hot to hike much now) and so looked at the site again. I don't have very detailed maps, but I can describe it in greater detail. If you go from Lion Rock side, the trail gets to highest point near Beacon, and it contours on the south side of the actual summit, before (east of) intersection with the road to Beacon top. There is a quite obvious opening, going south and down. There is a gate with a government warning "electricty installations, doesn't go anywhere" (which is wrong). The top section is paved with concrete, and then becomes unpaved and overgrown. I actually cleared the overgrown sections and marked my route with orange ribbons. Hopefully still there. In HK people don't rip off route-marking ribbons, unlike where I come from (Honolulu). It is wild and exciting walk, nowhere does it get difficult or dangerous. -Wing (wing@lava.net)
