What we actually did is reversed. We went straight to Big Wave Bay beach and camp there then we hike up dragon's back from there. This could be also a "hiking, beachneering and rock climbing circuit". After hiking the dragon's back, spend the night at big wave bay beach (no tents allowed) and the second day could be spent on the nearby Tai Tau Chau where the crags are, is walking distance from the main Shek O Village. The main village is about 15-20 minutes walk from Big Wave Bay on a paved road which cuts between golf course fairways.
The Group: Banny and Ces Defeo, Roger and daughter Nena, Teddy Arellano, Titos Escueta and Eva, our italian friend.
We stayed overnight at the barbeque area. If the weather is good, you can sleep on the beach but there is one problem, MOSQUITOS! Be sure to have a sleeping bag or "malong" and a camping mosquito net for your face.
