It’s been a while since our last Trailwalker training and seems like we’re a bit slack with it. Anyhow, I woke up late that morning and Ryan had to wait for me for almost 45 minutes. I’m so sorry…
It’s definitely not the best weather for training. It was raining like hell when I was on my way out. We met up in Mongkok then immediately went over to Sai Kung to meet up with other colleagues.

Once we’ve got everyone, we started! The views were magnificent along Section 1, which circulates the reservoir. Here’s and overflow outlet and a tower.

At a point, we were overlooking the Water Sports Centre where I went for my sailing training. I wanted to take photos back then but since we were on the cab, we couldn’t. Now’s the time!
Nice huh?
After another 10 minutes walk, we came up to this small sand island in the middle of the reservoir. The water was so clear that I cannot resist taking a photo of it.
It's so clear...
Once we’ve passed this point, it started raining again. And it just got heavier and heavier. There were times when the rain was coming at us almost horizontally. We had to stop and rest for a bit and the moment the rain stopped, the view was again very nice.
Just after the rain...
There was a cab right in front of us at this point and to be honest, we were tempted to hop on. Anyway, we kept going.
Up the mountain we went and before we know, we arrived at Long Ke Beach. It’s such a beautiful sanctuary!

The rain just wouldn’t stop and the path were getting really muddy and slippery. I couldn’t have the camera in my hand anymore. But we came to another magnificent beach and I insist to take a photo with Ryan. We had to somehow hold the umbrella and protect the camera to take this shot!

Check out how soaked we were… It really wasn’t funny…
We're so soaked...
Because I’ve been taking photos along the way, Ryan and I were so left behind that we’re on our own most of the time. Other colleagues couldn’t wait for us and had left by the time we’re still in the middle of no where.
After the walk, we had a quick lunch at Sai Kung then went straight home to sleep. Again, I slept throughout Saturday and Sunday to recover…
