Reading about this car, just gets even more exciting. The reviews by the motoring press are amazing. Due for delivery 8 Feb 2021.
Christmas Eve
Volunteered to go into the simulator before our afternoon party. Had to be in the afternoon prior to the restaurants closing at 6 pm. The photographs are in chronological order and show me leaving for work in Cathay City, followed by the works Christmas Eve function held in the Sheraton,…
Drone registered with the CAA
I have a DJI Mavic Pro drone since 2019 and rarely have flown it. It was flown once in 2020, 27 August at 1440 for 10 minutes. In late 2019 I registered the drone and myself with the CAA. This is the page where you can register, you need to…
Hike: Olympic Trail Reversal from Tung Chung
I tend to walk this hike when I need exercise. The walk to Mui Wo is approximately 5.2 miles, so slightly shorter and involves a Taxi or Bus ride back. The advantage is that you can eat in the Kitchen. Therefor to save time, I generally walk to the top…
Hike: South Lantau Hash Run
The fourth hash run of my career, based around Mui Wo on South Lantau.
Hike: Mui Wo to Discovery Bay
Short hike with Connor to Discovery Bay with pictures en-route. First pictures from my apartment in Tung Chung, before taking the bus to Mui Wo. Beach area on approach to Discovery Bay is full of plastic and discarded domestic products.
Hike: Wilson Trail
Joined a walk with 9 others on the Wilson Trail, called the Twin Peaks. The highlight of the trail was 970 upwards upwards on the First Peek. The conclusion was a meal in Stanley and a visit to the Hong Kong Cricket Club followed by a Mexican in SoHo.

Hike: Olympic Trail / Green
Hike via Olympic Green, then on to Mui Wo via the Olympic Trail. Idea was to eat in the Kitchen, but unfortunately it was closed.
Hike: Tung Chung to Discovery Bay
Second hike over to Discovery Bay over Tigers Head this week; 7.5 miles. This time with Jan Rutten and strangely enough we hiked slower than I did before, two days earlier.
The day Cathay Dragon ceased to exist!
Wednesday, 21st October 2020 will be seared in the minds of all those who worked for Cathay Dragon, as this was the day it ceased to exist. I knew it as Dragonair and I feel the pain for my ex-colleges. There are questions that need answering, such as what happens…
Hike: Peng Chau Hash
Was invited to a Hash Run on Peng Chau by Marcel Van Houten and Jamie Day. Just shy of 4 miles and then a quick refreshment and food afterwards. Excellent day out and probably the longest I have run in years.
Hike: Olympic Trail Again
Yet another hike to Mui Wo from Tung Chung, Lantau, with Marcel and Pipi. Never appreciated there was the large waterfall before. Clearly, being managed in the past to collect water for local distribution.
