Shek Pik & Shek Lam Chau
Rode the motorbike first to check Shek Pik Campsite (AFCD, Lantau Trail Stage 8) for a possible later camp, then rode on to the beach near the Dhamma Mutta (Vipassana) centre at Tung Wan. From there a short walk along the trail to Shek Lam Chau Campsite (Stage 9), with a detour down to the nearby beach. The GPX covers the walking portion only.
