Dorothy Elizabeth Darkin née Davies (born sometime between April and June 1931) was married to a Rick Darkin (I think maybe Richard Eric son of Norman Darkin?) who was a Superintendent in the RHKP in Mongkok, Kowloon at the time of her death. We believe she had left the UK for New Zealand as a nurse in the late 1950s before ending up in HK. She had two sons (Angus and Rodney) who would have been born in the 1960s. The last known address was in Broadcast Drive, Kowloon.

Foot path leading up the ridge towards Matilda Hospital [????- ]

Hi there,

I think I have found the foot path, but it seem rarely used these days as it is sort of overgrown.  It is just about twenty to thirty steps up hill from the pavilion, right at the place where the main path widen into a concrete service road.  If you look to your right you should be able to see it, it would be difficult to miss.
