Scrabble + Hike (Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island) 2nd Attempt

No location was chosen

Due to weather condition, this hike is postponed to Oct. 26 (Chung Yeung Festival).

Here's a hike for wimps :) the Extended Family Walk around Sok Kwu Wan (rating: 2/5).

The first 30 minutes is a shady uphill climb - the only ascending section of the walk. It's certainly worth it for the view from the top is panoramic. The descent takes us to a coastal path leading to some abandoned villages and secluded bays. We'll finish at another sandy beach - Mo Tak Wan (20 min away from Sok Kwu Wan pier) where we wrap up with beer / meal and scrabble at The Bay Restaurant.

1. meet at 1.30pm at Central Pier No. 4 for ferry to Sok Kwu Wan
2. ferry leaves at 1.50 pm so we can't wait for late-comers
3. the walk takes about 2 hours
4. return journey
a. walk 20 min to Sok Kwu Wan pier for the 7.35 pm ferry to Central
b. a 'Kaido' (a junk service) pier is right next to the restaurant, the 'Kaido' ride takes 30 min to Aberdeen (Hong Kong Island) and leaves at 6.30 pm and 7.15 pm .

    This was a wonderful way to spend the day. Amelia organised this in her inimitable style, combining beautiful surroundings with a really generous and fun approach to Scrabble-ing. Was thrilled my overseas guest got to experience the most beautiful walk I've taken (in 27 years!!) in HK, the delightful people who are part of this group and the non competitive atmosphere once the boards and were introduced into the mix
