Is it this one?

But the text seems to be different than the one shown in this page.

You appear to have discovered one unknown to me. It has a couple of differences from the one I listed, which seems to indicate that although it is in the same area, it is on a slightly different path.

The "Catchment" text in the photo looks like a match for this slab: https://gwulo.com/node/42049

Thanks David. I've obviously been getting bleary eyed from all the computer time during this lockdown. On closer inspection of my notes, data base and this photo, they are the same one. Apologies.

It seems that my photo and your link match, but it is not shown in the Map of All Places, only the marker on this page is shown.

The marker for the other directions slab was hidden under the marker for Blockhouse 021. I've moved them slightly apart so both can now be seen: https://gwulo.com/map-of-places#19/22.35056/114.18119/Map_by_ESRI-Markers/100

If that's the case, then the locations for this marker stone is not on that path called Qinlong Ancient Trail running northward, it's more likely to be on the other path called Sze Hung Ancient Trail running northeast ... ?

Here's my record of coordinates for the marker with the readings below ...

PB 221 L 68 69 71 Catchment

I couldn't find this either

Only one slab was found in this area->https://gwulo.com/node/42049#17/22.35061/114.18107/Map_by_OSM-Markers/100

I have dragged the position as best I can to the point I had marked on my map. It has come to a fourth decimal point of those co-ordinates you gave, so it should be within a few metres. I have no idea of the names of the paths. That apparently is a recent addition. Believe me, when I walked that path I spent much of the time trying to find where it went in the vegetation. It passed to the east of Amah Rock, crossed the Catchwater, and came out in a barbecue area alongside a road loop to Lion Rock Tunnel Road.

The other marker was on a different path, which is now probably still part of the MacLehose Trail, leading north east.
