The Hong Kong Mountain Goat Challenge

As some of the reader may know, I am a member of the Hong Kong Hiking Meetup Group. Yes, they organise a lot of hikes, some of which can be quite technically challenging.

Recently, they are organising the Hong Kong Mountain Goat Challenge. This is to climb all the Top 100 hills of Hong Kong before 31 December 2018.

This is the multi-stage challenge and this is what I was told:

• Kid Goat: Climb at least 50 hills by June 2017
• Nanny Goat: Climb at least 75 hills by March 2018
• Mountain Goat: Climb at all 100 hills  by December 2018
