I’ve just been looking at various dates in the forthcoming calendar. :?:
There are two places I’ve been wanting to fly. One is the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare and the other is Benevinagh.

I’ve just ‘pencilled in’ the 9th June for a trip north, so l hope the winds will play ball.

(Don’t all of you start crying! :shock: You’ll only have to put up with me for one day.

Hi all, just a quick update on the road sea trip to rathlin island.
We will be meeting in the ferry car park ballycastle at 9.40 with the intentions of catching the 10.15 sailing to rathlin.
Cost of the ferry is £11.50 return
Journing time is about 45 mins
Over 60s with a smart pass travel free.
So far I have 6 people traveling to paradise for slopers
Let me know if anyone else intends to join us
When we return Saturday evening we intend to have food etc at castlerock then with the help of Andrew some bungee flying of the beach or maybe a bit of air towing.

Sunday will be again at the hands of the weather gods but Andrew has a few ideas to keep us adventurous !!!!!
Just lets say you will have the time of your life and experience some new sites

I’m keeping an eye on those winds Richard. Easterlies are no good for Benevinagh?

Is that right?
(Although I dare say you guys are praying for easterlies,…… so you wont have to put up with me ON Sunday :roll: )

Yes, that’s right, I must think positive: “Westerly winds, Westerly winds Westerly winds.”

Or better, “Strong Westerly winds, Strong Westerly winds!”

Hi Keith sorry to tell you the winds are not looking in our favour for the west slope on rathlin
But it's looking sweet for binevnagh !!!! Northerly winds are forecast for the weekend with wall to wall sunshine.
