Rathlin Island/North Coast Road Trip 2012
Richard Boyd:
Gentlemen and Ladies the weather Gods are with us again this year for our road trip to Rathlin YIPPEE.
The winds are turning to the west on Saturday and it is wall to wall sunshine with 18-20mph winds forcast for both days !!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are coming to fly with us please be at the ferry terminal at 9.30am as we are on the 10am sailing.
Bring a pack lunch and drinks of your choice.
If you are late then take the next ferry and then the yellow bus to the west light house, we wwll be on the grass slope to your left as you approach the visitors carpark.
Drive safely and your about to have the experiance of a life time ! :D
Richard Boyd:
Due to the easterly winds staying with us I have decided to cancel our trip to Rathlin. A BIG THANKS to Glen Millar for flying around Rathlin this evening trying to sort out an easterly site but it was to no avail.
Both JP and myself have decided to try Murlough Bay for some slope fun :)
If it works out then this will be another site for us to fly.
Sunday we are planning to do some bungee launching of benone beach.
Bring your bucket and spade and lots of sun tan lotion as we are getting lovely sunshine :D
