Scouting places for powerkiting - maps online with altitude?

workaccount · 2009-01-02 20:21:52

Hi, I don't really live near the coast so I'm trying to find out the highest spots near me to see if I can find suitable places to powerkite. Is there any maps you can look at online that show you the highest points above sea level near you? Cheers.

I don't have the link to hand but Ordinance Survey Ireland have an online map viewer you can probably google. More interestingly for you maybe is that you can overlay a wind resource map on the OS map to see estimated average wind speeds at that location. Happy googling.
