Day Trips Destinations from Fred's

Departure from Fred's (Dai Tan) to...

Destination: Path distance (One Way) / Circumnavigation distance (around...)

Ko Lau Wan: 4.3Km
Grass Is. (塔門): 5Km(pier) / 7Km
Red Path. (赤徑): 9.1km / na
Red Is. (赤州): 8Km (Southern-Most Tip) / 4Km
Tai Mei Tuk: 19km
Nam She Wan (蚺蛇灣): 7.6Km
Mai Fan Tsui: 10Km
Ham Tin Wan (near Tai Long Wan): 17.5Km <---- this is where I finally got food and drinks after the disastrous T.P.Chau...

Tai Long Sai: 18.61Km
Long Ke (浪茄灣): 25.5 (if I were to paddle along the coastline.)
Long Ke (浪茄灣): 21.5 (If I skip all the inlets and bays)
BTW, it's tempting to keep paddling on past Long Ke, which the TMCC gangs chose not to do. I did exactly that, and ended up emergency-landed in the dark on one of the many rocks between Sai Kung and Cheung Kwan O [Bluff Island], and got my shin all cut up for that. So, if you are at Long Ke and it's sort of late (it was about 4:30pm when I got there,) do what the experienced folks do -- make camp at heavenly Long Ke and shelf your ego for the night.
Bluff Is. (沙塘口山): 27km (For old time sake...)
Tung Lung Is. (東龍洲, NE tip): 36km (Heh, if I am lucky, I might get replenishments here from Dennis)
Ninepin Group (果洲群島): (Northern most Tip) 32Km
Shek O: 43.26Km
St. Stephen WSC: 51.0Km (as if... ^_^;;)

Lamma Is. (East-most point): 56Km
Pak Kok village: 63Km (Gosh, I'm feeling so nostalgic)
Dai Kau Ye Is. :69Km
Ping Chau: 71.5Km
Ping Chau Beach: 73Km
Disco Bay: 75.5Km


So it turns out Tai Tan to Disco Bay is only 75Km, I can comfortably do it in three days, or painfully do it in two. Wow, it's a small world afterall.

Two days plan: make sure to reach Long Ke before 1 pm, make camp at Shek O.

Three days plan: first stop at Long Ke, second stop at Lamma (replenish), third day arr. Disco Bay.

Yellow Bamboo Cape (黃竹角咀): 9km / na
Double Island (往灣洲): 10.5Km / 9km
