Fred:
Alright lads,
I'm off for a week on a slope trip to the West coast in 2 weeks !
I'll be based at Lahinch, but will go to Doonbeg, kilkee etc etc, well, around the area, so as in Co. Kerry maybe for a day, weather permitting of course...

I'll only bring with me my good old Algebra (I'm sure to fly on any slopes with that one !) and the Destiny...

So, if there is someone around in the area, let me know, we can go flying together !

Fred:
A quick hello from Spanish Point...
Coastal sloping paradise for the day !
In short.. Having fun !  :D
I'll take some photos and talk about the slope there, flying the Destiny for now doing high speed runs in the lift.
Tomorrow, plan is to go south again to chack a few more spots, I hope to find better ones, not only limited to smallish gliders.

Happy Days:
Yeah, keep us updated Fred :D  ,.........with loads of picies! :clap:

Hi Fred,

Just back from coastal south Clare myself (not gliding!).  Try the coastal road south of Kilkee - some great slopes facing the ocean there.  Loop Head also good (but wires may get in the way).  Very windy last week - but the gulls were hanging in the air!  A lot of birdwatchers in the area - apparently an albatross was spotted.

DaveMc:
Great Fred, Where will you be on wednesday? Myself and Ger Buckley could be convinced to join you for a flight.

There is a south to south westerly facing slope in kilkee. If you look to the highest point on the cliffs on the East side of the bay. Up behind the golf course. You can drive to the car park on the east side and hike up the rest of the way. Ger B flies there almost every weekend. The wind has to be spot on the slope for it to work.

Cheers

D.
