MACLEHOSE TRAIL SECTION 1 & 2 || 100 KM MACLEHOSE CHALLENGE HIKE HONG KONG | HOW TO GET THERE

100km MACLEHOSE TRAIL CHALLENGE !
🔺We love hiking!.. Kev, Ellen and I are too bored with the norms and we found ourselves in this more challenging hike!..
One thing that draws us and looked into 100km MacLehose Trail but figured it would was too long for us to do in one go or to do without our full camping gear that the trail runs east to west across the Kowloon Peninsula!
🔺The trail is officially divided into 10 stages, although not all stages are created equal.
🔺We initially set out to only hike stages 1 and 2 on the 1st day!
🔺While we were doing the hike, we talked about our schedule and decided that it would work for us to take five days, during day off and hike the whole trail.
Not having a consecutively five days off, we would spend all day hiking and back to home at nights and we managed to piece together the full trail using transit back and forth.
🔺There is good information on the website about each stages of the trail, which can help figure out how to break the trail into days. We broke it into five days, which works for us as regular hikers. Our split was
✅Stages 1 and 2 on day 1,
✅Stages 3 & 4 day 2
✅Stage 5 6 & 7 day 3
✅Stages 8 day 4 and
✅Stages 9 & 10 on an easy day
🔺The main challenge is making sure that plan to start and end each day at a point that is transit accessible. While the trail is divided into stages, some of these points can only be accessed by hiking all or part of the prior stage and are not!
Although much of the trail is well marked, there were a number of intersections with minimal signage or signage that pointed to an intermediate point and did not explicitly mention!...
🔴Stages 1 and 2
🔶How to get there:
Take the MTR to Dimond Hill
Take bus 96R, Get off at Pak Tam Chung Bus Terminal
Over an hour on transit (beginning with MTR)
🔶How to get home:
Return is easy as section 2 ends almost right in front of a 94/96R bus stop!
