Google AI 關於船灣淡水湖郊遊徑~~
船灣淡水湖郊遊徑難度屬於困難級。這條路線長約15.5公里，需要約7小時完成，全程山勢起伏大，部分路段崎嶇，而且沿途樹蔭少，沒有中途補給點。因此，不適合年老體弱或沒有充足準備的人士，尤其不適合在酷暑或不穩定天氣下行走。
About Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail ~~
The Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail is a challenging, ~20 km (12.5 mile) point-to-point hike in Hong Kong that circles the reservoir. It typically starts at Wu Kau Tang and ends at Tai Mei Tuk, taking about 7 to 10 hours to complete. The trail is known for its long climbs, exposed sections, and limited public transportation, making it best suited for experienced hikers.
最好預備要花 10小時才可以完成
Please get well prepared for completing the full trail, it takes you around 10 hours for the whole hike.

Heading for Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail.
船灣淡水湖郊遊徑是需要 10小時才能完成, 今日我們 A隊只會去最短的一段, 登上馬頭峰後, 會稍為露營及吃午餐, 之後便原路返回起點.
B 隊會去繼續去赤馬頭, 然後經石水澗村去上苗田, 之後再回去烏蛟騰.
Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail is the most challenging hiking trail in HK, it takes you 10 hours to complete the trail and NO transportation is available along the walk, most of the trail with NO shelter and the hiking path is very steep and slippery.
We have divided into team A and B this morning.
Team A takes the shortest path -- from Wu Kau Tang start point, going to the summit of Ma Tau Fung (peak), have a short camping there (and lunch) and return back to the start point after a tea break.
Team B will continue their walk after going to Ma Tau Fung and going to Chek Ma Tau. Then they will take a short-cut near that place and heading for Sheung Miu Tin (part of Double Haven Country Trail) via a deserted village, Shek Shui Kan (meaning rocky stream).
上山, 山路絕對不好走.
面前的小山丘便是馬頭峰, 準備好登頂.

Chung Pui Campsite is located at this part, one of my favourite campsites.
The beautiful hills we can see while camping @ Chung Pui Campsite are Ma Tau Fung, which we are now visiting, and Chek Ma Tau, which is a little bit far away from here.
A 隊登上馬頭峰的行程完成了, 我們會在這裡露營 1.5小時, 以及吃午飯大休.
B 隊繼續去赤馬頭, 要在日落前返回烏蛟騰巴士站.
As we belong to Team A, we have completed our mission for going to the summit of Ma Tau Fung.
Now it's the time for us to setup our tent and stay at the summit for around 1.5 hours and also have our lunch here.
Team B continues with their hike for Chek Ma Tau, they have to make sure they can go back to the bus terminus before getting dark.
Camping time with our quick lunch!!!
