Needle Hill

Today was Stage 6, 7 & 8 of the MacLehose Trail and it was much more horrible than I expected. I think as it was a 2 star walk, I thought it would be much easier than Stage 3 & 4 (3 star walk). It wasn't and if anything it felt worse.

This is Needle Hill the first of 3 hills. It had over 1,700 steps to the 532m top and then just came down again. The word I would use was gratuitous! This was then followed by Grassy Hill and Tai Mo Shan. Tai Mo Shan at over 930m is HK highest hill (and a munro).

It was a long day and the best bit was that we finished at a snack bar. Mango and chocolate cornetto would never normally be my first choice but today it was my only choice and it was fantastic!
