irlande en avril
Fred:
Ok, first of all, thank you all for coming from all over the Island! :clap:
I think it's safe to say that we had fun! :D Some good laughs, good chat, good flying, good friends and some good drinks! A good mix for a great 3 days session!
Here are a few photos (sorry, not much I'm affraid, but I reached the maximum ability of my little camera :cry: )
Thursday : French contingent arrived... Straight to Bunclody and of course.. The Pub!
Next morning, things were a little less easier :wink: But good spirit, as the sun was shinning! :D
Friday - First day
Off to the slope, joined by Ralph, Les, John and Richard.
Flying started straight away, as conditions were very good, sun + wind (dying as the day went by, ending up the day doing thermal flying :D )
Oh, and aperitif on the slope!
Ralph flying with a glass of Moresque in his hand :
Multitasking at his best! :D
It was Friday the 13th, so we had to try our luck...
Empty can on a pole, an electric flying wing, and off for a game France / Ireland. Great laugh! :D We ended up with a 1-1 score and both teams agreed that we had a great time!
And off to the B&B fro a great dinner cooked by John's wife, Roisin :clap: Enough to feed a small army, and absolutely delicious!
With Ralph And Les taking the the dish washing duties very seriously :clap:
And of course, the night went on and on and on with some very good drinks and good auld chat! Last drink I remember was Punch I think... :mrgreen:
Fred:
Saturday :
Glorious morning! Not a clouds in sight :D
Time for some more action! A bigger contingent headed to Mt Leinster. I think we were about 20 at some stage :clap:
Lots and lots of flying (one of my radio had 5 hours at the end of the day...) even with the weather throwing pretty much everything at us! Rain, eels stones, sleet, and even snow!! Fortunately, that never realy lasted long, and it was sunny most of the day with a very good wind (around 25km/h).
Richard took the opportunity to maiden his Quark (great color scheme in B&W!). What can I say... Launch, rolls, and off he went.. Though he had an issue with the radio, but no :mrgreen: (Video soon!)
Ger came with his Campervan, and was used as base camp, with of course, great tea and coffee. Thanks Ger! :clap:
Another great day had by all, with again, lots and lots of flying :clap:
We all ended up having dinner at the Carlton Hotel in Bunclody, with some very good food, and a wine, not even good enough to make vinegar (well yeah, some French were here!! :D Especially with the Chablis and Bordeaux that Ralph brought with him the night before :clap: Yummy! \:D/ )
And of course, the night ended up very late at the B&B...
Haven't laugh so hard in a very long time!! :D
