The Twins

This is quite a short walk (about 2 hours) but a tough climb.  The start is near Parkview:
 
First some steps


Then more steps

Turn left here


On Violet Hill


Repulse Bay

First of the Twins - you can see the path going up at bottom left

Straight on here

Over Tze Kong Bridge





Yet more steps - hard climbing!


Top of the second Twin

View of Stanley


The end!  Right opposite a bus stop to get back to Central
