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.

Love seeing Mui Wo come alive!

 If only this could be a monthly flea market.

All together now...

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE flea market to go to

A scorcher of an October day and a record number of stalls at the flea market.

Wish I had bought Kathy's umbrella.

With so many people here, I wonder how the other two events in Mui Wo that day -- the kai to consultation meeting and the farmer's market -- went?

Rain, rain go away, I wanna shop

A heavy drizzle threatened to turn the Discovery Bay flea market into a washout. 

But luckily it dissipated after a bit and everyone could display their goods again.

PALS was doing quite a brisk trade in antique silver. I must admit, I was sorely tempted by the King George VI silver medallion.

Epiphany Church jumble sale is back!

This is the sale I've been waiting all year for. And I wasn't the only one. I passed the church at 9.30am and there were already people milling outside.

It was so packed at 11am that I had to elbow my way in. Why is it so popular? Clothes are HK$10 for four, the better quality pieces are HK$20 each and suits/coats are HK$100. You can emerge with huge bin bags full of stuff and still have spent less than HK$100.

Homeware was less than HK$20.

 And books and CDs started from HK$2 each.

 Is it any wonder I went in there four times today and am planning just as many trips tomorrow?
