the one at murlough bay if the wind was more northerly would be a first class job  :clap:
the landing area is like a bowling green and you can step out of your car and fly  :D
i\'m an ordinary man nothing special nothing grand

I have just returned home as I stayed a few days extra  8)
Thanks to John+Roisen, Andrew,Wayne,Terry and Ian for making another special weekends flying on the North Antrim Coast.
Our slope sites are growing and the fun is all about finding new places to fly. I am looking forward to flying Ora as it sounds very very interesting.
I am already looking forward to the next adventure.

A bad days flying is better than a good days work.

Whereabouts is "Ora" Richard? Not a name I recognise?

If you fancy a weekend away, I remember some nice slopes over near Sligo & Rossknowlagh in Donegal from about 20 years ago when I went canoe surfing there with Uni!!

Count me in! I'll certainly be there on my good days. Back doesn't like long car journeys at the moment, but we'll get there again  :!:   :!:

Richard to be honest I think it would be better calling us the Gonads Slopers lol  :D

God! Only seeing this now!!  8-[   :oops:

Looks like you had a great time, and for once, an event with a beautiful weather!!  :clap: Thanks for the photos  :D
Pity about the trip up to Rathlin (can't have sun and the good wind at the same time!  :!:  :!: ) but hopefully, I will be on the next one!  :D
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!
