SaturdayHikers have officially ended their hiking season and it resumes again in
October 2009. During May-October please feel free to contact either Lynn
(
twiggyseymour@...) or Bill (
asialog@...) if you wish to post a
hike. The full list of hikes is below.
The following text is our routine reminder to hikers.
If you wish to volunteer to lead a hike, please email Lynn on
twiggyseymour@... or Bill on
asialog@... (in case one of us is
away) with your choice of date (after checking if it is available below)and your
name will be pasted on this list. Please be specific as to area of your hike so
that others planning a hike will not duplicate in the same area, e.g. Tai O,
Lantau and not just "Lantau". You will need to send out full details of your
hike or activity during the week prior to the Saturday by posting them on this
website yourself.
Please realise that you have responsibility as a leader to know the hike you
lead well (eg. to have recced the hike recently prior to leading it). An
advantage is take chalk with you to mark the correct turnings if there are
several choices and in order to allow slower hikers to follow the correct way
and not get lost!
Additional Information to be provided by the leader in an e-mail a few days
before the hike:

WE REQUIRE LEADERS FOR ALTERNATIVE HIKES ON THE SAME SATURDAY SO THAT WE DO NOT
HAVE LARGE UNMANAGEABLE GROUPS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
WE ARE HOPEFUL WE CAN GET A 50-50 SPLIT (eg one easy hike and one moderate or
strenuous hike). WE NEED LEADERS FOR 2 DIFFERENT HIKES. ALTERNATIVELY, ARRANGE
FOR 2 HIKE LEADERS TO STAGGER THE SAME HIKE SO THE SLOWER HIKERS MEET 1 LEADER
EARLIER AND THE FAST ONES MEET THE 2ND LEADER LATER.
