Soaring Trip to Grass Island - August 28, 2011

Grass Island (Tap Mun) is one of the beautiful islands in Hong Kong. What makes it so special is that we can slope soaring there! Its east facing slope is one of the best in Hong Kong. HKRCSS organized a Grass Island soaring trip on August 28, 2011. 20 peoples of members and their family joined. Unfortunately, the wind was very weak and from the north, and it was very hot too! Though the condition was not good for flying, some members can still getting fun from flying small electric plane. Grass Island is also not lack of beautiful scene and also the good food that everyone enjoyed!
