RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

大家有冇上過 Google Maps? http://maps.google.com

香港既衛星圖都幾詳細，下面係幾幅我地去開既山坡既衛星圖:

哎呀！我見到我一年前在扎山道南風位唔見咗隻機呀！圖中有個小小嘅白點就喺我隻機啦！隻機後嚟比其他機友落山執機時無意中發現，不過己經發莓。早知有咁正嘅圖就好啦！阿邦你快D睇吓有冇今過星期才影嘅衛星圖，話唔埋可以揾番上個星期唔見咗嘅 MiniNYX 啊！

Thank you for your Satellite photo, it is very clear indeed.

This is 3D version. Really cool!

Recently I am playing with the Google 3D to see whether we can find some good slopes for northerly wind. It is really cool as we can set any view direction to see the 3D images. I highly recommend you to try before attemping to go hiking searching for a decend slope.

Here are some cool images:

Clearwater Bay, both east and north slopes


Fei Ngo Shan east slope


Fei Ngo Shan north slope


Fei Ngo Shan south slope


Ma On Shan east slope


You can even see the car park and the hiking track up to the mountain

Sham Chung, you can see 村長間屋


Lamma Island from a different angle


I have searched a few possible northerly slopes and hope to go there sometimes check them out. Cheers!
