LOGISTICS
Honouring the Meeting Time:
Please know we have a 10mins allowance for waiting time. In order to honour those who have arrived on time. Unfortunately, we will not be able to coordinate with latecomers once we have started our walk.
Meeting place:
Entrance of Tai Tam Country Park (South) on Tai Tam Road. Please meet us by the gate barriers by the side of the public toilets. Please refer to map below for reference
Trail:
We will first walk along the paved trail of Tai Tam countrypark. The trail will make a turn and part of the trail will be moving through fairly dense forest with uneven ground. The last section of the walk will be along a river gorge where participants will be walking along the edge of a river, with some potential of rock hopping. The walk is mostly flat, and accessible for those with moderate fitness, though good balance is required.

Will there be food provided?
Snacks will be provided by the organiser. However, we recommend you have a hearty breakfast, and bring whatever you need to keep comfortable before we end at noon. Please do let us know if you have any dietary requirements, or food allergies.
I'm not very fit, does this matter?
The Forest Therapy Walk is designed to slow us down, tune into our senses, and the environment. The pace of the Forest Therapy walk will therefore be very slow, and suitable for all levels of fitness. Once at the site, we will be walking among the forested area and along a riverside made up of rocky boulders. Care should be taken in walking through uneven terrain if participants are not used to these conditions.
Are my children allowed to come?
