ISR glide-in 12th&13th September
Fred:
Hey Keith,
As far as I remember, the only difficult direction to fly was South East, because you have Mt L right in front of you...
Or you have to walk a long way down the "bowl".
We flew East last May when the Frenchies were here without issues, but that was more thermal than dynamic, so not sure of the slope effect there for East. :?:
I remember when checked with my compas that East was no biggie but that is old memories ! :? 8-[
Ah well, we'll see tomorrow, the most important, is to fly ! :D
joe:
Feckin Internets not work here. Writin from me phone.
See ya all in the morning. We see what the wind is doing when we get there. I'm sure we get some flying in. Supposed to turn more north and pickup in the afternoon.
Happy Days:
Poor Joe’s without internet connection er? :shock: Well, you will live in the back-of-beyond Joe. (I’m surprised you’ve got electricity out there.) :lol:
Meanwhile,………here in the civilized part of Co. Wexford………………….. :D
The sky is clear, as the sun is beginning to shine. (Very clear view of a half moon at the zenith.) :)
With just a little haze on the horizon the weather is much the same as it’s been at this time of day for the past few days.
Wind is aprox 5km/h from the east. Mt L. is clear of cloud,….well,….just a very small “crown” of haze obscuring the radio mast.
Temperature = 6degrees centigrade.
I wont bother posting any more reports this morning, it’s all looking set to be another fine day, though maybe a little short in the wind department. :(
I hope to be at Big L. from around 2pm. See yer’s then. :D
Keith
DaveMc:
Excellent days flying there lads.
Some pics
Ger buckleys rediculously over packed car...there could be a small child lost underneath all that for all we knew.. :D
The formal presentation of BUNS!!
The gathering on the hilltop... 'is there enough lift???'
To hell with this lets go stuff our faces with BUNS!! and icecream...hmmmmm
Finally some flying stuff
Carrying the K13 home after risking it all in the light lift....Bravo!!
Spirit on flyby...another one of my flying photography at the same time thingys.. :roll:
So over and out for me.... I am gonna hit the beer now and BURP and go to bed..... :shock:
D
Happy Days:
More nice photos Dave, :clap: (you like silhouettes don’t you).
It was very enjoyable to fly with you and Ger, and the others. Normally I only have the birds for company on Big L.
Although a little short of lift, the day was pleasant just to meet old friends and chat about mutual points of interest, …like buns! :) Thank you for your very generous donation by the way. ( They tasted surprisingly good too!) :lol:
The next time we meet hopefully there’ll be rather more lift and I’ll be able to give you a ‘darned good thrashing’ at combat. :twisted: (Well,…..I can dream can’t I?) :roll:
This morning here in Co. Wexford we have blue skies and Dead Calm! WOE is ME. :!:
(I think I might nip out into the garden and make some sacrifices to the gods and ask them to whip up a quick gale or two)
Hope to see you again before too long guys, thanks for coming up ……………Happy Landings.
Keith
