rogallo:
Anyone here partake in a bit during the winter??

billscottni:
JP & I have done in the past, gets harder the older you get though.  :-\ :-\
Some of the best flying I've had has been in the Winter months, just need to wrap p well and really protect the hands. Helps if you can get the car close too  :) :)

andrew wallace:
Yea I usually fly off the beach over the winter
Mind you the north wind would cut the face of you

Peter:
Yes - we fly through the winter from Kilakee.  Weather permitting of course so in reality there can be long gaps in activity. We try and meet 2-2.30 Saturday afternoons at the car park on the Featherbed.  Speaking of which - this coming Saturday looks promising.

Scorpio:
Yes there are a few of us from SRFC that brave the elements. Full thermal gear necessary! Kilakee mainly. The odd time at old Wicklow head.

Would venture to Mt Leinster if there was a get together organised and weather looked promising. Harder to do with the shorter days.

Cheers

Conor
