6th Trailwalker Training on Sept 18

Nam She Sharp

Beautiful View from Nam She Sharp











Adrian, Ben, Yvonne and I didn't go to MacLehose Trail today. We went to the sharpest hill in Sai Kung, Nam She Sharp (Nam Shea Jim). It is really difficult route. Section 3 & 4 have only 3-star difficulty but this has 4-star. We basically need to climb up and down the hill. We started at Pak Tam Au at 9:22am. We finished at Sai Wan "Ting" at 4:08pm.

It was so windy today. We couldn't even stand properly. To be honest, it is quite dangerous as the hill is really steep. But the view is BEAUTIFUL! We have stopped few times to look at the view. The hill was really steep. We actually need to slide down to the the hill in some part. Along the trail, we saw a lot of police plastic tape 'cos a police was missing there a week ago. Those should be some marks for other police to look for him. In fact, 2 guys passed by us and said that they were volunteers to look for the police.

Up in the hill, we saw a helicopter. We were wondering if they found him.. um.. We walked and walked and walked. There was a big campsite somewhere in Tai Long East Bay. I am quite surprise that many families actually go there for camping. I never have such experience. I have never gone camping with my family. Actually, I've only done wild camp once when I did Outward Bound many years ago. What a life! This is really a good and healthy activities for family.

We continued to walk and hahhaa.. Adrian holds our (Yvonne and I) hands. As it was really steep, I felt very secured when I hold Adrian's hand. hehhe.. But I still fell down twice.. got a big bruise on my right thigh.


We walked down from this hill











We finally arrived "Ham Tian" Bay and went into the grocery shop for lunch. There were many firemen at the shop. We thought that they came to find the missing police. Then, we found out that a guy was missing when he swan yesterday. Firemen was looking for him. We also found some reporters there, too. No wonder we saw helicopter.....

After lunch, we started our journey to Sai Wan. I walked faster than the rest but I didnt know I walked that fast. I arrived at Sai Wan first. I finally saw them after I crossed the stream through a longer way. Adrian, Ben and Yvonne wanted to catch up and tried to walk a short cut to the beach. I was sitting on the other side of the beach at the stairs and waiting for them. I was looking at them and was wondering why they didn't come towards me. Then, I saw Adrian was looking for rock or something and looked like that they were trying to jump over the stream. I saw Ben was about to walk to the long way that I walked just now to cross the stream. Then, I saw Adrian found something in red or orange and asked Ben ran back. I cant really see what it was. (After that Yvonne told me that it was a little basin). They finally jumped over. :) They actually told me details afterwards and asked me to write it here! AHAAHAAHHA.. here u go....

Firstly, they were thinking whether they should go for a shortcut to catch me up. And then, a family passed by them and told them that I had walked very fast and if they wanted to catch me up, they got to go for the shortcut. See! this is peer pressure. Then, Adrian found a big rock. He tried to throw it in the middle of the stream and was thinking to step it on and cross the stream. But the rock SUNK!. After that, Adrian found a little basin. He tried to throw it to the stream but it was so light. It floated. Yvonne suggested to put some sand inside the basin and throw it. It worked. They finally crossed the stream. YEAH!!! By the way, during this 5 to 10 mins, 3 other guys actually just walked through the stream with their "Pak Fan Yu". But Adrian, Ben and Yvonne spent so much time to figure out how to cross the stream without getting wet. :)

We were quite lucky. After we finished, it rained heavily. It was not a long route but we were quite tired especially ourknee joints. Nam She Sharp is really steep. I am not sure if I would go there again as it is quite dangerous especially in the windy day. However, we really enjoyed this trip.... really nice view.
