Hong Kong Trail 50km Section 1 - 4 (Part 3)

On third day of the outing, 25 March 2019 the team took a bus from Central MTR station to Victoria Peak. Arriving at the peak at 8:15 a.m., it was drizzling; later, we reckoned that it was due to the dew in a misty environment.

We started the run at 8:30 a.m. on the tarmac path. After about one hour of running, the mist dissipated as the sun rose. The weather was cloudy and calm the entire day. Section 1 to 4 of Hong Kong Trail 50km is mostly downhill and flat, very nice experience for trail running. At Stage 3 (until Distance Post number H037 before one crosses the road), the trail was flat for a few kilometers long - one has to be here to experience it.

Section 4 ends at Wong Nai Chung Gap Road with Distance Post number H050 (approximate). We arrived at the end of Section 4 at 4 p.m., a good timing to call it a day. We then walked to the same bus stop just around the corner to catch a bus home. With that, we completed the three consecutively days of outing. In the same evening, the team went for a celebration dinner in Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant, a renown restaurant in Central 中環. 

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip and a nice experience able to explore trails in other country. The group dynamics and team work were excellent to complete the outings as planned.
