Gliders > Slope Soaring

The Autumn Glide-In 2015

<< < (5/5)

Happy Days:
Here we are nearly two weeks after the event and the only person to have posted any picies other than myself is young Bill Scott! I saw at least three people with DSLR cameras at the event,.....
where are the pictures lads?! :?:

So in the absents of any others, here are the odd ones I captured.

This pic is of some of the Dublin areas lads enjoying some rays,......one is even flying a model glider!

Kevin is looking particularly pleased with himself after putting his rather large glider through its paces. One of the problems with the South Slope is that
 you have to carry the models to the top of the slope. The bigger the model, the more difficult it is. Good job Kevin's fit, isn't it!

Talking of large models you don't often see ones of 5 meter wing span. This is JP's latest. Walking it to the top of the slope in the wind must have been a tough job

Fred:
Hi all,

Sorry for the silence, catching up with life!  :!:

So again, many thanks to all the pilots who showed up, another successful event, and a nice "end" for the 2015 flying season (well, don't hang your gliders now, we are not done yet!  :P  )
I put up a quick page with a short report and a few photos. Of course, if you have more to be added, send them to me and I'll put them in :)

Thanks for posting John :clap:
(I thought Roisin looked very competent at the controls  :D She should do it more often. )
