IceWind:

I'm away from IE! :(
If this happens, pleaseee someone take some videos! :)
And share.
Fred:
Hi,
Sunday should be OK for me!
Will plan to get up there early to have a full flying day !
We'll keep an eye on the forecast :?:
Happy Days:
The forecasts I'm looking at show west-south-west winds for Sunday. Don't think the south slope would work.
In addition I've been up there (South slope) twice this week and found a bit of a problem with that big nuclear bomb in the sky...... It's very low at this time of year. :cry: So if the wind is in the south I'll be giving it a miss.
If your going to D.S. you'd probably be okay, but for general flying, with the lift being a long way out on that slope, and with low sun it aint very comfortable........Trust me on this one! :wink:
If the wind veer's to the west I'll certainly be there. The top west slope is my FAVORITE :D (I love it to bits!)
BTW Fred, welcome back to the forum :clap: If Joe is still alive (I haven't heard from him for ages) he might turn up as well and I can give him his models. (Just in time for xmas.)
Nando is becoming a voyeur,.......he just likes to watch video's of others doing it! :wink:...........(Definitely a perv' that lad)

Hi Guys,
Keith may have a point, we will have to see later.
The forecast yesterday was for SSW wind with high cloud only at 50%.
Now its WSW wind but with a lot of low cloud.
Saturday's forecast will have to tell us, fingers crossed.
Brian
Fred:
Thanks Keith :D :oops:
On holidays now, lots to catch up ! :!:
Well, if the forecast is WSW, why not having a drive and come to Kilakee ? :?:
Good training to fly in another slope (sorry Brian, no DS there!), and the Johnnie Fox is 5 minutes away ! (for a tea eh!) :D
