Hi Oeshy

As fred has mentioned, I would be the closest to you location, living just outside Armagh, which is about 30mins form Monaghan town centre.

A group of slope pilots from the local model club, are meeting this Sunday at Flagstaff mountain, just outside Newry on the M1 motorway. If you are interested in coming to this meeting, I can meet you at the carpark of the Carrickdale hotel just of the M1 motorway. At the moment the weather forcast is not good, therefore I will post on Saturday evening, if the event is going ahead, and if so, what time to meet up, If you have any questions you can contact me on 07745458755.

OK weather looks fair for tomorrow but cold with  big winds, so some of us are meeting at 12 - 12.30 pm in the carrickdale hotel carpark, then meeting the rest of the pilots, on the mountain.

Happy Days:
Ooo, Big Winds!!! Very satisfying. :D

I suffer with that sometimes myself. (Even the dog gets up and walks out of the room :oops: )

Have a good time lads, hope you have fast reaction times today!  Oh, and post us some pictures please.

Big windss Keith, but TOO big and too much moisture along with them. Most of th etime hilltop was in cloud with occasional breaks.

Matthew Poots and Dave Nolan "braved" the conditions and tried to fly, Matthew even getting agricultural and gaffer taping a rock to his CG to try and aid penetration. Still couldn't really penetrate, so we adjourned to Newry for coffee & a bun!
