Trekking up a Limestone Ridge (Saturday 26 November 2000) 
Fearing slippery rocks due to heavy rains over the last few days before the trip, Mah King Wah changed the venue to another limestone hill in the Bercham area, leading more than 20 members up this shady track to the hill top overlooking the scenic Bercham area. Some paraboeas (a gesneriad) were found growing on the limestone outcrops. Resting at the top members took out their lunch packs and water while some took photographs of the surrounding landscape. A pair of courting egg-fly butterflies (looks like the Great Egg-fly, Hypolimnas bolina which is polymorphic) seem to prefer Sharon Chan’s head as a possible place to lay their eggs.
