'The 70 was a real gem for fans of long non-aircon rides, and may have been unique in encountering the full spectrum of Hong Kong life/locations, from the crowded Nathan Road through the Lion Rock tunnel, around the towns of Shatin and Tai Po, the sea views across Tolo Harbour'. Chris

My thanks to Dave Rogers, Keith Wood, Donald MacRae, Chris Martin, David Rowe, Philip Chan and Leyland Fleetline for submitting various photographs for inclusion in this page. Unfortunately, owing to the sheer number of photographs received, I have been unable to use all of them. My special thanks to Dennis Law for his superb photographs of the event itself, which I am sure you will agree, almost makes you believe you were part of it! |
