Alan_Perse:
Looks like Saturday will be the best day I think.
Fred:
Yep, Saturday looks like the best day :D
You bring the Ka8 ? (well... are you coming ?) :?: :D
Karl, I'll wait for your call in the morning :D . Dublin -->Mt Leinster, it's 1h30 drive...

I hope so Fred. But I can't guarantee anything I'm afraid. I'll confirm if I'm coming on the forum on Friday night or early Saturday morning.

Weather for Saturday:
XC predicting light winds from NW in the morning but SW in the afternoon.
I was flying off the South slope on Wednesday…….with clear skies the sun was right in my eyes. :( (Low sun at this time of year.)
Sunday the prediction is for stronger north west winds but the possibility of cloud/rain. :( (If the rain stayed away there would be plenty of lift off the west slope.)
I think it’s anyone’s guess whether either day will be flyable. (Ironically tomorrow and Monday look to be good. :roll: )
As the information stands at the moment I’d take a guess and say there maybe a window on Saturday morning after about 10.00, when the rain is supposed to stop, and before 2pm, when the wind is supposed to reduce and change direction. :?:
That would be a long drive from Dublin for just a couple of hours flying.
May be tomorrows forecast will turn in our favour. :)

Happy Days:
Yes! :D The SW winds forecast for Saturday pm are now forecast as Westerly, although still predicted to drop in strength during the afternoon. However, the west slope produces more lift than the south slope so we might still be able to fly. :clap: ( Just increase the wing cambers a bit :wink: )
The rain forecast for Sunday has now been downgraded to showers and with wind speeds of 35Km/h hitting the north ridge, we could fly anything off that slope. :D ( :?: Hmmmm I might take my mother-in-law up there on Sunday)
We might be in for a good weekends flying..........well, possibly!
