Right guys, it's all coming together now for the 16/09/2007!
Brian and I have doing doing further research on venues (I know, its a really, really tough job, but someone.....!), and we now have lined up a fantastic, tried and tested slope for every wind direction except vertical! :D They are as follows:
Mweelin (478m): SW, S, SE.
Rossbeigh Hill (274m): NW, N, NNE
Seefin Mountain, Glenbeigh (43m): NE, E
Carrahane Strand, Ardfert (17m): West.
Reserve West slope: White Strand, Rossbeigh Beach, Glenbeigh.
Meeting places will have to be determined closer to the date, depending on what Windguru (http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=47753) tells us (use "Inch Strand" spot for Glenbeigh area, "Banna Beach" for Ardfert area).
Suggested meeting spots are as follows:
West wind: Tralee, outside MacDonalds as you come in from the Limerick/Castleisland side.
NW to E: Glenbeigh, outside the Londis petrol station/food store, last business on the right just before you leave town for Kells/Caherciveen (and just before the right turn that goes down to Rossbeigh beach).
SE to SW: Ballyvourney, Cork, in parking lot behind that pub/shop on the north side of the road, which is also the last business on the right side of the road before you leave town for Killarney (name to follow - this is also a great spot for take-aways, or for relaxing afterwards!).
It would be best to swop phone numbers, my mobile no. is: 087 929 7071.
PlLease feel free to suggest alternative arrangements!
