Looks like we will be on the East slope.

I'll have the BBQ and the usual food. Feel free to bring stuff to drink, eat etc etc. Sound like we will have fun no matter what!!  :D  :D

For the slope, same as the other ones.. But you have to walk (that's where the lazy part of my brain kicks in!  :P )

Bring some of your F3P stuff, just in case. Donatas might give us a flying lesson!  :clap:

And don't look at the forecast too much! They can barely tells you what the weather will looks like tomorrow at 100%, so in 4 days, in a very localized spot.. good luck! (not the first time they say rain etc etc, and we have the opposite!)

Just come, enjoy the bbq, drinks and banter. We will fly!

I think I know where you are talking about. Did not think you could fly in easterly winds up there. I thought there were threes on that slope.

Sound like someone is having fun!  :clap:
As for me, they send me to an award event in Dublin Friday night!  :!:  :!:

Hi lads, I am off to Dublin on Sat for the Liffey Decent, kinda gliding on water for 4-5 hours. If I survive I should be down late on Sat night or early Sunday morning. Oh this weekend is gonna hurt!
Rest of the Cork crew will come down on Sat for the day.
Any sign of Ger Buckley?
