Peter:
Wind was SSW today so the slope at Killakee was working well (and warm!) - got a good flight in.  Will try Glencree tomorrow at 2ish.

joe:
Hiya David.
I see you made it onto the forum. Welcome.
So David/Peter any flying yesterday?

Peter:
Good to meet you yesterday David.  We met up at Glencree at 2 to find the wind very far south.  So I put the Eliminator together and David his Fling and we walked up towards the lake, stopping on the low gradient heather-covered slope before the main steep slope down into the lake.  I wasn't sure whether this was going to work but it was great - plenty of lift.  We both clocked an hour in the air and sun even came out.  Very few people around - a very pleasant Sunday afternoon.  I am busy next Saturday, but might try to get out Sunday again.  Looks like the weather is going to be fairly settled for the next while.  What a day today - must have been great up on the slope.

cvanscho:
Seems it might have been a great day all over Ireland.  I managed to take a couple of hours out and flew at Mweelin in the SE.  Fantastic session - flew my Pike, M60 and Le Fish.  Sun was out the whole time.

David Kelly:
Hi Joe,
Yes we got out for about 2 on slope overlooking Lough Bray. Bit overcast and cool but otherwise a beautiful day. New experience for me flying in the mountains. Nearly all the flying I've done is from sand dunes and some bungee launch at park. Looking foward to doing some more and meet you there at some stage.

I'm tied up this Saturday but will be free on Sunday and will head down Wicklow direction if the weather is favourable.
Am going to Donabate strand this morning, wind looks easterly.

cheers
David
