Richard Boyd:
Hi all , well the first day of our get together is over !
Yesterdays flying was very very rewarding.
We were on a different slope than usual and although winds were gusting at times to over 15MPH it was a challenge to fly.
I had 6 pilots turn up yesterday which was good considering that there was other events on this weekend , plus the fact that 2mph winds were forecast.
Now work this one out !
I BBQed 32 sausages !
6 pilots !
How many hot dogs can any man eat !
There was 2 gallion of coffee drank as well !
We were on the slope at 10am and left it at 6pm.
I really enjoyed my day and a big thanks to everyone for coming to Slieve Gallion.

andrew wallace:
good days flying yesterday :clap:  :clap:
looking forwards to getting back today again  :lol:

Happy Days:
So, Richard, you BBQ’ed 32 sausages & 6 pilots :shock: ………..bit extreme isn’t it?

I admire you all for being able to fly in those conditions. :clap:  I assume there must have been thermal activity to maintain 8 hours of flying, yes?
So how many pilots “landed out” and had to take “the long walk”? :oops:

Trust you find a little more wind today. Good Luck lads.

Thanks for the picies BTW.

andrew wallace:
