MOUNTAINĀ  BIKINGĀ  HONGĀ  KONG’SĀ  WILSON TRAIL

13/6/2024

0 Comments

 

Having completed the Maclehose Trail, next in our crosshairs is the Wilson Trail. In many regards the younger sibling of the Maclehose (briefly crossing each other a couple of times), the Wilson traverses Hong Kong over 78 kilometres running south to north. Starting on Hong Kong Island, before crossing Victoria Harbour and plotting a course across the New Territories. Like the Maclehose, this trail also encompassed four riding/filming days. There is plenty of scope to break it up and take longer, or if not filming also do it in less time (particularly during winter). The last couple of days on this ride it started to get quite warm. Kicking off at Stanley in the south of Hong Kong Island, day one started straight out of the blocks with some punchy uphill and technical DH to cross HK Island. After a short ferry ride to Lei Yue Mun, the remainder of the day was spent getting around the eastern side of Kowloon. The second day started out a foggy one, climbing over Tate’s Cairn before traversing around Sha Tin then across to Shing Mun Country Park. A delightful section of trail along Shing Mun Reservoir then lead to a climb over Lead Mine Pass, finishing up in Tai Po. Day three was a big one! After a knackering climb on concrete stairs over Cloudy Hill, a flowy trail ran down to Hok Tau Reservoir. There, batteries were recharged before conquering the Pat Sun Leng Ridge, one of the most epic ridge top routes in HK. The original plan was to finish the third day in Luk Keng, but running out of light I pulled off the trail near Bride’s Pool. I returned for an easy going final day on the Wilson with a freind Ben. Riding through abandoned villages in the jungle and plenty of fun DH at the end made for a memorable day 👌🏼

​Next up, as temperatures start to rise, we will investigate the Tinworth Trail, before tackling the Island trails of Lantau & HK.
