	28 December, 2003 - Tai Po Kau
		This walk is really not much more than a one-booter and it is quite short, so I suggest we take a rather different route it from Tai Po Market by heading for CARE Village or the nearby village of Ha Wong Yi Au and find our way along the several paths to the reserve.
		When we reached the Tai Po Road again (a clever diversionary tactic) we made a strategic right turn into the Nature Reserve along a side entrance.
		Spirits were uplifted and onwards we marched around the Yellow track that circumnavigates Tai Po Kau.
