ISR Glide-In - May 10-11th 2008
Fred:
Ok, so Bill, from NI, this is really simple.
Take the M1 to Dublin
Then, take the M50 south and stay on it !
At the end, the M50 join the N11 - M11 and follow the road !
You go across the Wicklow mountain and so on. There is a new motorway that goes from Wicklow to GOREY, simply go straight, at the motorway end, you go back to the normal rad, direction to FERNS.
Once at FERNS, you need to go to BUNCLODY.
But we can meet together either FERNS or BUNCLODY and we do a convoy from there.
Dublin Ferns, take me 1.30hr on a normal day.
I also have the KMZ (googleearth) files for Mt Leinster if you want them. But basicaly, from Dublin, once you are on the M50 south, that is straight ahead down to Ferns :D

Thanks Fred,
I it's 1.5hrs from Dublin. It would make around a 3 - 3.5 hour trip from Belfast. Will almost certainly be down for the fly in on at least one day
Fred:
That will be great to see you Bill ! :D
Like that, we can talk about me coming to NI for 1 or 2 meetings this summer (If some of you are interrested to do the trip with me, more than welcome ! :D ).
By the way, the ISR meeting is going European, as we will have a French and German delegation ! :D :D :D
So far, more Frenchies than Irish at the meeting !! :shock:
Come on Ireland !! :P :D
More information soon, but sound like 2 days of pure fun already ! :D :D

Well it looks like your dates got on the official calendar. I was sitting behind "glider secretary" Joe at the meeting last night and I think all the dates got put up. . . well done Joe.
I have never made it to any of the events on Mt. Leinster, hope to change that this year. I flew at Kilaloe with a couple of friends on the way home from Shannon one day, fantastic place. I saw a Kilaloe event go on the calendar too. Some of my outlaws spend time in West Clare during the summer. . . note to self, maybe coordinate some pleasure with the outlaw duties. . . hmmm! That would set a precident :oops: 8)
We (www.srfc.net) have a newsletter going in the post in the next week or so, I will see if I can get the soaring members off their a$$ for some of these events.
It really is great to see some coordination amongst the gliding fraternity. . . well done all involved :clap: :clap: :clap:

Hiya Garry
Yeah all the dates went up alright(I hope). Hope we can get a few more people out this year. Be great if you could add the dates to your newsletter.
We the will be having monthly glide-ins starting in March with a day or two aero-tow/flat field(bungee/electric) flying over the summer as well. I will send you on dates as soon as we decide on venues for each day. Maybe one month Mt Leinster one month Dublin area. We need to decide that.
Also, we have a date of the 7th of September for an ISR glide-in too. That venue I have left open. So maybe we will look at Dublin area for that one just to mix it up a bit.
Be great to do some flying with the shankill guys. Do you still fly the Sugar Loaf?
