Geocache Description:

On the Maclehose Trail, in the hills above Sai Kung town.

In an effort to help to keep the trails a bit cleaner, please pick up at least one item of trash/rubbish/garbage while on your hike (in addition to all of your own, of course). Please log what it is that you removed from the countryside. It doesn't have to be big or heavy, just something. We all thank you.

Now--the cache itself. I believe that doing your own planning is half the fun, so I won't make this a connect-the-dot exercise. Be forewarned though--this is not an easy stroll. Starting at Po Lo Che is a less steep gradient, but starting at Chuk Yeung Rd involves fewer miles. Chuk Yeung Rd starting point is just over 5km to the cache, with almost 2000 vertical feet gained. Not a treacherous trail, but do wear proper footwear, and bring adequate water and snacks, as there are no facilities once you start going up.

Note: you don't need to trample any bushes to get to this cache. Please take the extra minute or two to find the trail.

You're looking for a tupperware container that has a logbook, a couple of pens, an assortment of little surprises, 2 TB's and a Geocoin.
