Question English speaking Hiking/Outdoor Organization

Could anybody refer me to a predominantly English-speaking Hiking/Outdoor organization?

Have joined our company-sponsored weekly hiking event and I am the only non-local in the group. Have not learned any Cantonese words (let alone be conversant) beyond "ng goi" and "jo san" and the 4+ hour trek is quite boring. Don't wanna force them to speak or translate to me every conversation though.

Drop Martin Williams a line on http://www.drmartinwilliams.com

He writes about hiking (has a book published for Hong Kong hikes) and organises hikes.

He should be on the forums in a week or two to manage our 'Activities' forum.

(Unfortunately this means I'll have no excuses left...)
