Ma Shi Chau Trail 🥾
Ma Shi Chau Trail 🥾
Hello HnT Crew!

Elevation Gain: Minimal (~40 m total) Distance Posts: Ma Shi Chau Nature Trail posts C5101 to C5112 ⚠️ Important Notice: Punctuality & Waiting Policy Please make every effort to arrive on time so we can keep the event running smoothly for everyone. ⏱️ 10-Minute Grace Period: Organizers will only wait a maximum of 10 minutes past the scheduled start time. If you are running late and we have not received a response or update from you, we will have to proceed without you. ✅ Reminders: Check the Tide Table: The tombolo (sandbar) connecting Sam Mun Tsai to Ma Shi Chau is submerged at high tide! We have timed this perfectly, but keeping an eye on the water level is mandatory. ✅ Bring at least 1.5L of water ✅ Wear proper hiking shoes (coastal rocks can be sharp, slippery, and covered in mud/barnacles) ✅ Light snacks ✅ Sun protection (the coastline is highly exposed with very little shade) ✅ Lastly, good vibes! Additional Notes: 📝 Digital Sign-off: There will be a digital sign-off sheet acknowledging that the organizers are not responsible for any injuries sustained during the hike. ✊ Respect the Site: Ma Shi Chau is a protected Special Area and a UNESCO Global Geopark. Strictly no picking up or taking any rocks, fossils, or shells. Leave only footprints! 🩹 Safety First: First Aid is covered! Let's head out and explore some of Hong Kong's oldest sedimentary rocks and stunning Tolo Harbour views! See you there!

WWII Pillbox: Short hike & Swim, Pak Shui Wun to Campsite Beach
To enjoy this hike-swim event in safety, we’ll take boat from Pak Sha Wan Pier in Sai Kung to secluded nature Pak Shui Wun(白水碗) , then we trek to turquoise Campsite Beach(露營灣) for swimming. Let’s explore WWII anti-invasion Pillbox機槍堡 (PB)107 & 108 if possible. As they are hidden at the coast of Chuk Kok opposite to sea of Trio Bay, it means no shop or any replenishment support. **Be fully equipped** with hike & swim gear *under the heat*. According to a study on the relics of the territory’s pillboxes (PBs) by The University of Hong Kong, “Hong Kong’s PBs are internationally significant due to their unique designs, and the accumulation of scientific knowledge about them, particularly in oral history, mapping, photography, and surveying. " "They also hold value in academic and professional domains including dissemination, appreciation, and curatorship. Compared to other places, such as Singapore, **Hong Kong’s work in this field is more advanced**.” Please bring two litres of sports drinks & your lunch box with snacks. No store or any replenishment support there. Sandals or anti-slippery swim shoes will be useful if you wet your hiking shoes during a little coasteering. There is **NO** **lifeguard** in Campsite Beach, ***swimming is for experienced swimmers* only.** Bring an umbrella or light tent for sheltering, if you just want to enjoy the rest on the sand! By 5pm, we will take the booked boat back to either Pak Sha Wan Pier or Sai Kung Pier. Please prepare at least $60-$120 cash for two-way tickets.Let’s have dinner afterwards(cash $230+).🍺🍹 First-time participant please answer all questions posted when you make RSVP. **Meeting** **Date:** Sunday 31 May, 2026 **Time**: 1pm **PROMPT** **Gather at**: **Minibus** **Terminal chairs** opposite to **CIRCLE K** convenience store, Sai Kung **Event Ratings:** Speed: 2/5 Hike Length: 3-5km (depends our team chemistry & the weather) Difficulties: 2.7+(adding the heat)/5 **WHAT TO BRING** 1\.

Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
**History** [Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places. The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails. Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century. The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988. In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous. **Where We'll Meet** Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike. Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here. **After the Hike** Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular. I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager. BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
