e {L_WROTE}:
pardon my ignorance, but where is that?
Stenhouse (Shan Tei Tong) is the highest point on Lamma, 353m. Down south of Sok Kwu Wan. Haven't been there for a while, but I remember that it was a bit of a scramble to get up there, not so much steep as crumbly. Don't go there if there's any chance of rain. There's a lower peak, Ling Kok Shan, 250m, opposite it, overlooking Sok Kwu Wan with some antenna on the peak, which is a much easier climb.
For both you take the concrete path from SKW to Sham Wan and then branch off on a track leading straight up the mountain, right to Stenhouse, left to the other.
For maps, the best are the Countryside maps published by the govt. The Friends of the Earth Lamma guidebook on sale around Lamma is pretty good (there are two editions, English and Chinese, so get the right one). Online, use <a href="http://www.centamap.com/scripts/centamap.asp?lg=EN">Centamap</a> and type in "Stenhouse".
Don't go down the south slopes, a tourist got lost and injured there a few years ago, they found his body months later.
