Hike from Yau Tong to Kowloon Reservoir - Wilson Trail Sections 3, 4 & 5 (Oct. 2, 2012)

Start from Yau Tong, near MTR station.  I did not find the normal Wilson Trail Section 3 trailhead, but rather found a non-descript trailhead just above the Lei Yue Mun Estate Lei Sang House, just off Ko Chiu Road above the end of Lei Yue Mun Road.  This was essentially a short-cut that bypassed Devil's Peak (which saved me a little time, since it was a long hike anyway).
Then I hiked Wilson Trail Sections 3, 4 and 5, ending at Kowloon Reservoir.  Took the 81 bus back to Kowloon (near Jordan MTR).
Total Hike time was approx. 5-1/2 hrs. (with no stops except for photos and one bathroom break and soft drink purchase at Shatin Pass).
Total door-to-door time was 6 hrs. 40 min., which included some "hiking" from Jordan back to the Regal Kowloon Hotel at the end.

Note: Photos of the monkeys near Kowloon Reservoir will go into a subsequent post.
