今早乘81號巴士在石梨具水塘下車, 然後步行到金山郊野公園. 沿金山路及九龍水塘一直向前走, 到了金山樹木研習徑. 大家在樹木研習徑內走了一會, 隊友提議到九龍水塘那邊一行, 所以很快便改道離開.
We took bus no.81 this morning for Shek Lei Pui Reservoir, and then we walked to the entrance of Kam Shan Country Park. Just stick to Golden Hill Road and Kowloon Reservoir, we finally reaached Kam Shan Tree Walk. The tree walk is a very hiker-friendly forest track, but some team-mates suggested we should try to have a look at the other side of Kowloon Reservoir. So we left and finding our way for the other side of Kowloon Reservoir.






沿金山路返回大埔公路(巴士站附近), 一直沿車道前行, 直至見到下一個巴士站 (九龍水塘站) 為止, 路程比相像中長, 而且很多汽車的廢氣. 到了九龍水塘入口外 (注意: 並非九龍水塘燒烤場), 有地圖指示路線.
Walking along Golden Hill Road and then we went back to Tai Po Road (the traffic road, near the bus-stop). From there, we just kept on walking along "Tai Po Road -- Sha Tin Heights" until we could see the next bus-stop (Kowloon Reservoir stop). There is a big map outside the entrance of Kowloon Reservoir (near the Kowloon Reservoir bus-stop, NOT the BBQ area!!)




到了九龍水塘的另一邊, 今天剛好有"雷利衛徑長征" 活動, 故此有一大堆參賽者來到此地, 非常熱鬧.
Now we were @ the other side of Kowloon Reservoir and there is also "Raleigh Challenge" taking place here today, Many trail-runners came this morning!










可能因為很多長征的參加者跑經此地, 今天很多猴子都一家大小在附近出沒, 因為人多, 比平日嘈雜, 猴子今天的脾氣都相當急燥!! 在水塘附近, 不少猴子弄破垃圾袋在找食物.
Quite a noisy morning near the reservoir, as there is a trail-running event here today. Monkeys were quite stimulated by the trail-runners passing by and became much hot-tempered than usual. (One small monkey wanted to attack me when I was just walking along the road without doing anything bad to it!!!) Many monkey mothers carried their kids running out from the bushes and climbed up to taller trees, they didn't want the runners to disturb their baby monkeys! A number of monkeys nearby torn the trash bags in pieces in order to get more food!








回到水塘燒烤區, 終於找到可望見水塘美景的涼亭!!
We went back to the BBQ area of Kowloon Reservoir, and from there, we finally found the little pavilion which is also a perfect "lookout spot" for beautiful scenes of the reservoir!








亭內賞美景~~ 九龍水塘真不錯. 午後乘巴士回旺角....
Beautiful scenes from the pavilion ~~ Nice scenes of Kowloon Reservoir! We took a bus to Mong Kok at the opposite side of Kowloon Reservoir afterwards....
