Yes, point taken, question changed...
The pavilion at the crossroads to Tung O and Ling Kok Shan is just a few minutes up the hill from Sok Kwu Wan, barely a third of the altitude of Mount Stenhouse and it's all paved path, unlike the little dirt trails afterwards. I passed by that pavilion the other day on my bike while doing the Sok Kwu Wan-Mo Tat Wan-Tung O-Sok Kwu Wan Family Trail. Nobody told me about all the stairs up and down beforehand.
There's a Trig Point column at the very top, the summit of Mount Stenhouse.
You can actually go beyond that, down and up to another peak of similar height. Later, we went down partially and then returned to the top to look for a friend's sunglasses he'd forgotten up there a few weeks ago. So we've returned twice to the Trig Point on Mount Stenhouse. So if I wanted to be really vain and bragging I could say that we reached the summit THREE times in a single day, and all without additional oxygen!
By the way, here's my own proof, photo taken of the Trig Point yesterday, with my witness, plus two famous Lamma doggie celebrities, Gail the Official Companion of the Official Court Pet Correspondent and Bianchino the Two-Timer. Of course, we didn't leave the poster up there, no littering at all, even cleaning up some of the non-paper garbage up there as well, taking it down with us.
Bianchino, alias Bobo, has been featured in the Lamma-zine before (May 15, 2007: Bianchino – Lovable Rogue & Two-Timer) as having two families taking care of him, unknown to both of them till recently, one family in Sok Kwu Wan and one in Yung Shue Wan.
