ISR Glide-In - 22-23 May2010 ****IT'S A GO!****
Richard Boyd:
I have finally navigated to the correct post regarding this weekends fly-in at Mt Leinster.
I looked at the forecast and it is giving a miserable 4 mph winds.
I was once told that if someone breaks wind on the East coast of the USA , by the time it reaches Ireland it turns into a gale ! minus the smell lol
I hope the good old Yanks are feeding on egg and onion sandwiches !

Fred, what day have you ordered the wind for??
Forecast is super light for the weekend 8)
Happy Days:
Hhmmmm………Been reading the weekends weather forecast from six different sites. They all say Saturday will have winds of < 8Kmh and variable direction. :( Five say Sunday will be the same and the other says winds from the north at 15Kmh.
There might be some thermals around but the planes will have to get to the thermals from the slope and in those light conditions that could involve a lot of walking! :cry:
If the forecasts haven’t improved by this evening I suggest we postpone the event until next weekend. (Driving for a couple of hours or more just to get a sun tan seems a bit extravagant.)
Anyone else have any views on the matter?

Fred:
I go with the majority...
Richard Boyd:
My Dad is in his 80th ! year . Yes 80th !!!!!!
He has his new shiny Multiplex DG600 to maiden at the weekend , but I think it is going to have to wait until the next date.
What ever alternate date is set then we will do our utmost to visit Mt L.
