Sunday 17th Feb Wicklow head

(1/8) > >>

joe:
So we have Fred, David, Peter and myself so far. Will mail Garry Keogh from Shankill club and see if any of them fancy it.

Fred:
Cool !  :D

Where is the Lighthouse exactly ? Is it in the Wicklow village ?

I'll try to setup a map...

Fred:
Ok, found a map !  :D
This is after the golf club !
I'll post that tomorrow

Peter:
Yes I think you drive through Wicklow Town and on a couple of km to reach the lighthouse.  In terms of other slopes, Bray Head used to be a favourite locality in an easterly but I don't know anyone who has flown it recently.  It certainly looks good - there is access from a road off the Bray-Greystones road - it probably requires a short walk in.  I must recce it and see if there is anywhere to park.  Parts of the Head are very rocky, but others heather covered.

Fred:
Yeah, I saw some hang gliders flying in Bray head while I was flying in Dalkee.
Drove to Bray, but I never found the way they took to go up the hill... :?: Looks like a very good East slope !

Btw, the forecast is SEE wind for sunday... And sunny !  :D
I'll take lots of photos of this slope for future references  and add the info to the slope list :D
