MacLehose Stage 1: High Island Reservoir

Start: This completely flat stage is popular with joggers.  Climb over one hill after the reservoir road to get to a gorgeous beach. There are several ways to get to the start. 
1) Take MTR to Choi Hung. Take exit C and take a minibus to Sai Kung.  Get off at the last stop (the bus station). Then taxi to start of walk or take the bus the Pak Tam Chung. (From Admiralty MTR, expect 1 hr 20 minutes travel time) 
2) MTR to Diamond Hill and take bus 96R all the way to Pak Tam Chung. 
3) MTR to Hang Hau and take the minibus to Sai Kung bus terminus. Then taxi or take the bus to Pak Tam Chung.

End: There is no public transport from this point (unless you are lucky enough to find a taxi which has just dropped someone at the start of stage 2). Either you do section 2 next or you turn around and walk back.

Time: 3 hours

Difficulty: Easy. Flat paved road all the way (private cars not allowed, only taxis)
