This is a practice with NO supervision. We are gathering members together to practise. It is expected that as the practice progresses, some experienced members may walk faster and they will continue at their speed. 2. There is an option for a shorter or a longer trail. Those who have opted for the longer trail should not feel inhibited if they wish to cut short their practice at any time depending on their physical condition at the time. Safety is of paramount importance and trailers must take that into account when considering whether they should complete the entire trail for the sake of their own safety. 3. Participants must be fully prepared with proper gear. They must be physically fit to undergo the training on the activity date. 4. All trailers are advised to take full breakfast before the walk. 5. Trailers are advised to bring at least 3-litre water/sports drinks, energy bar/snack/fruit, sun block lotion, hat, tracking shoes, hiking stick and an extra tee for change. 6. If you have a CPA uniform, please wear it for easy identification. 7. Other information such as mid-way supply, exit points and weather forecast will be provided after your enrolment is confirmed. 8. Bad weather arrangement: if typhoon signal no. 3 or above / Red rainstorm warning is hoisted at 6:30 am, the practice will be cancelled.

  • Race Starts This Weekend for MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po Double Category Newly Added for a Combined Race Distance of 119Km the Singaporean Pair Shared Their Strategy
    Press release and high-resolution images can be downloaded via the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uzadBWFndlxLwds6x7TN7WahvwdK3cU_ For Immediate Release Race starts this weekend for MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po Double category newly added for a combined race distance of 119km The Singaporean pair shared their strategy [Hong Kong, March 27, 2019] Over the persistent peaks of the Pat Sin Leng Range, Hong Kong’s most promising young trail runners are set to battle at the MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po on Saturday March 30 for more than a podium place. As the second qualifying event of the MSIG Youth Trail Running Development Programme, the 18-kilometre race will decide which four local trail runners will make the cut for the year-long training programme. While these young runners double down, a few others will double up — in the Double Category, which is also new for this year’s MSIG Ultra triumvirate of events. Participants will run the 75km on Saturday followed by the 44km the following day, for a total of 119 treacherous kilometres. The 75km and 18km races will be held on Saturday March 30, while the 44km will be held on Sunday March 31. Both the 75km and 44km races will start and finish at The Country Club at Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po, while the 18km is a point-to-point course that will start on Bride’s Pool Road at Tai Mei Tuk and finish at Hong Lok Yuen. All distances will traverse the Pat Sin Leng range and Cloudy Hill, arguably the toughest climbs of the courses.

Following a brief introduction by the Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Communications and Technology) (DS(CT)), Principal Assistant Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Communications and Technology) (PAS(CT)), gave a power-point presentation to update members on the implementation of digital terrestrial television (DTT) broadcasting in Hong Kong. He highlighted the major points as follows: (a) Background of DTT broadcasting (i) The implementation of DTT was in good progress. Pursuant to the implementation framework for DTT broadcasting announced by the Government in 2004, the two domestic free television programmes service licensees, i.e. Asia Television Limited (ATV) and Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), would launch DTT by end-2007 and expand the digital coverage to at least 75% of Hong Kong by end-2008. The two broadcasters would each be assigned a multiplex for launching the new digital services and would simulcast their four existing analogue programme channels in digital format by sharing a joint multiplex.
