I got there by following the road which goes from CWB Rd down to Mok Tse Che. At the northern side of the houses at Ta Ku Ling San Tsuen there is a fence on the right leading from the road up across the hill. I followed that until I found what appeared to be a trench heading north. That got me to the general area of the PB's. It was very overgrown at that time, I shudder to think what it might be like now. Good luck.
Hey there again, I know what road you are talking about since I live there however I am confused about the bit talking about the fence and the Northern houses, are those Northern houses Las Pinadas and if so, is it the fence at the notice board where the road splits in which one of the roads go to Mok Tse Che while the other goes to the Las Pinadas houses? Thanks.
You're stretching the memory now. It was the fence behind Las Pinadas, and was near a driveway of some description, probably into those houses. The notice board I don't remember. If the trench no longer remains, follow the crest of the ridge in the direction of Sai Kung i.e. away from the HKUST. The PB's are there somewhere in the vegetation, and are separated by short distance. It is unlikely you will see one from the other, so the fun is finding the second. Again, from distant memory, one looks down on Hirams Highway, the other more towards Sai Kung .
I have an idea on where this fence is (I believe the big one down some flights of stone stairs opposite of the club house) and thanks for all your help.
I went through the alley between house 1 of Celestial Villa and house F of Grandview Villa. Turned left and went up the hill. It was easy to reach now by following orange ribbons
If following ck89's route, the second PB is roughly 20 metres past the first, but positioned 90 degrees to the first. There was probably a tunnel from back to back of the two. The first faces - roughly - across Hirams Highway towards Chuk Kok, the second down Hirams Highway towards Marina Cove.
Been to this one and PB111 this morning, confirmed with one of my hiking pals present today that those orange tags belonged to a group that we join every now and then. It's only that I haven't participated in their activities for some time, that's why I didn't know that they have used another colour of tags.

Looks as though it might have been difficult getting to it. Which way did you go?

Thanks for that detail. Doubt if I will be going back in the immediate future however.
Are the two not far from each

You can keep following the orange ribbons to go down the hill heading towards Ta Ku Ling

Nope, there will be no
Nope, there will be no ribbons once you reach the concrete road
From what I noticed this no
