The big walk

We set out from the gate of the country park this morning for our annual big walk.  From our side it was only the ze-boys - Ange having trashed herself properly in a tennis fall (chin, toe, ribs ...).  It was super-cool, and much less in the way of whinging on the way (though getting a tired, would-like-to-sleep-another-five-hours Aiden out of bed and onto the bus was taxing).  On the whole it was a very cheerful group.  The air was however somewhat foul - so all the pics are close range.

Back to front - but I so like this pic - Ev on the sampan heading back to Sai Kung.

Pak A villiage, near Yau Lei - cool flags a fluttering.

Dylan in Pak A - deserted houses for the most part - some still inhabited.

Some uninhabitable... the fingers and trunks of time.

Ev above High Island Reservoir - as I mentioned - chewy air (which hopefully will be gone tomorrow)

The sampan on the way home.  Plenty of tired legs.  Dylan had just fallen asleep, which was
unlucky; senconds later he was unable to defend himself from a tongue kiss from Buddy,
Liz and Pete's completely hyperactive Labrador - Border Collie cross.  Very funny for everyone else
