ISR Glide-In - May 16-17th - Mt Leinster - RAIN FORECASTED

<< < (8/10) > >>

Fred:
Thanks Keith,
But if you do it at 8, I will not be mad at you !  :P  :lol:

Happy Days:
If you get mad at me I'll go on Strike!

So, right now (06.58 ) I can't see Big L. Totaly cloud covered, heavy rain, winds S.W.'ish at 20 - 30 Km/h..........BUT, out to the western horizon the sky is much brighter :D

I'll give another report in an hour.  (It does look slightly hopeful)

Happy Days:
Conditions have much improved (08.00) Stoped raining! :D  

Large areas of blue sky, (with fluffy white clouds floating around) Cloud base is rising allowing the lower 30% of Mount lienster to be visible.

Wind speed has droped slightly but still SW'ish

On this basis I think we can expect a few showers but probably should be able to fly from around mid morning.

I'll give another up date in an hour.

Fred:
Cool,, thanks Keith.
Forecast says rain to come back in the afternoon with low clouds  :!:

Happy Days:
Okay chaps,......final update of the day 09.00. (Otherwise there will be no time for flying!)

Mt L. is still not totally visible. The very top and radio mast are still in the clouds but the area around Nine Stones is clear. :D  Blue sky but dark clouds floating around

Wind speed at the moment is falling and from the South.

Overall, in my estimation, it's Good to Go :D

I'm gonna have some breakfast and load the car. I'll be at Nine Stones around 11.00
I look forward to seeing as many of you up there as care to take the chance on the weather and make the journey :)

Tally-Ho
