Mount Leinster - 28-29th November

<< < (12/18) > >>

Alan_Perse:
That's great Keith. Thanks. But if everything is go, I will try to be there some time between 10 and 11am.

Fred:
Well.. I meet Karl at the hotel at 9... Then, we head for the slope !
We'll see.. I'll bring some tea/coffee !  :D

Fred:
Oh, And I'll have the Crystal... Might get ready for the maiden flight... Sunday looks like a "Keith day"  :P
Light stuff for the Saturday, but we might get lucky !

Happy Days:
Good morning Guys……….Will we be able to fly off Mt. Lienster to day??? :?:
I’m not a meteorologist but I’d put our chances at around 40% based on the following facts.

At the moment the top half of Big L is cloud covered, (this is less than at the same time yesterday) and there is a slight (10Km/h) breeze from the North. If the cloud cover lifts a little more the slopes should be clear, although I doubt that the top of the mountain will show it’s self today.

Assuming that breeze continues from the same direction there should be just enough lift on the North slope to fly a few Light models. :D

BUT Every forecaster is predicting different wind directions throughout the day :!:

Would I drive down from Dublin today?………..personally I wouldn’t.

K.

Alan_Perse:
Thanks for the update Keith. But I think I'll go anyway. I have a small glider I can fly in light conditions. So if I don't fly the K8 I can fly something. I have not flown in months.
