Olympic Power Trail
This Power Trail will take you from Tung Chung to Mui Wo via the Hong Kong Olympic Trail (also known as the Tung Mui Ancient Path). For this Power Trail I made the info based on starting from Tung Chung and have provided the way point to acces the start of the trail in the cache Olympic Power Trail #1 Athens 1896. Each cache along the Power Trail is in honour of the Summer Olympic Games and the cities that have hosted them. Please write in your logs your memory, if any, of the Olympic Games that the cache is named after. Spoiler photos are provided.
(thanks to team ajkj for their help in setting up the Power Trail)
Hong Kong Olympic Trail
To mark the historical occasion of Beijing hosting the Olympic Games 2008 and Hong Kong co-hosting the Olympic Equestrian Event, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government had obtained the approval of the International Olympic Committee to name a trail from Pak Mong Village to Mui Wo as "Hong Kong Olympic Trail" and a tree planting site at a slope near Pak Mong Village as "Olympic Green".
