On this next recommended walk, we’re following an ancient trail along the North Lantau Island coastline. Starting in the water village of Tai O, the 15 km walk takes you through old fishing villages as it winds it’s way past the new airport to Tung Chung Fort.

Castle Peak & Pineapple Mountain – recommended walks
On this next recommended walk, we’re tackling the steep climb up to Castle Peak and then making our way to Hong Kong’s famous Pineapple Mountain- a detour that’s worth the view. A challenging trek, made better/tolerable by the cooler climate.
Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail – recommended walks
Don’t be fooled by what looks like an easy 15km trail. The Plover Cove Reservoir Country Trail is picturesque but soon gets a lot tougher as the hills rise to around 300m and almost drop to the sea in between. DJ and Jack go to find out more.
East Lantau Island – recommended walks
In the first of a new Drone and Phone season of recommended walks, DJ and Jack take on East Lantau Island. Starting in Mui Wo, they took a trail up through Tung Wan Tau before a much gentler decent to the Our Lady of Joy Abbey. From there a path takes them down to the coast before walking into Discovery Bay. From there they headed back up to the ridge that runs above and down to Sunny Bay to complete a relatively easy 14 km hike. Many thanks to Doug Treasure for the recommendation.

Failure at the Geo Park
Drone and Phone does not always go to plan. In this episode DJ wakes up with a bad shoulder but soldiers on to record what was meant to be first in the series of packrat adventures. His bad luck does not stop there, as the pain intensifies he forgets his hat and a controller for the drone which leads to a wet landing. All this amongst the spectacular Hong Kong Geo park, guided by Rory Mackay from Wild Hong Kong.
