Lantau 70km run

I like having Lantau Base Camp in Mui Wo. Jeremy organises lots of macho trail runs starting from Mui Wo that makes me feel fit just by virtue of living at the starting point.

 

From LBC's events website: The Salomon LT 70 race offers both relay and solo options. The LT 70 is a semi-self sufficient race in that there will only be three checkpoints (or relay exchanges for relay runners).  The race takes place over extremely varied terrain, from rough, steep mountainous singletrack to flat concrete footpaths and covers the whole 70km (3300 D+) of the Lantau Trail.  The CPs will be fully stocked with food and liquids and are spread evenly at Ngong Ping, Tai O and Shui Hau. The Lantau Trail race LT70 will begin on Saturday, November 9th 2013 at 9am in Mui Wo.

Sports carnival

A smattering of stalls, a clown making balloon shapes, a bouncy castle and some games stations in the huge basketball field. It wasn't much but hey, it was all free and the kiddies loved it.

Plus I got a free fragrance sachet to take home so the sports carnival was a success in my books at least.

Sports carnival

Who says just because you live in the Outlying Islands all the fun activities pass you by? I spotted this banner in Pui O today advertising a sports carnival with games booths, free gifts, clowns and an "air bouncer" (lightweight security guards perhaps?).

The one at the Mui Wo playground will be from on the morning of January 30 and the carnival will then move on to the Pui O playground.

And tomorrow, there is the Mui Wo carnival to look forward to. Gosh, what a whirl of activity in this small town!
