ISR Glide-In - 22-23 May2010 ****IT'S A GO!****
Happy Days:
Well lads, it looks as though we wont be short of bungees!
Don’t forget to charge up those batteries tonight, including the Tx batteries. And if any flight battery hasn’t been used for some time, deep cycle it a couple of times first.
Looks like it could get quite warm on the Big L tomorrow. That’ll bring out the spectators, :( so remember to wear your “T” shirt with the ’Answers’ printed on the back. 8) (I’ve just got mine out and noticed that the logo on the front has, what looks to me, like a Phase 6 above the words Island Slope Rebels. Very good! :clap: )
I’m sure someone said they were bringing a barbi’ and someone else mentioned something about beer, but who is bringing the girls? :?: (Well,……..I thought they could help to pass the time if there was no lift :D )
On a slightly more sensible note, (unusual for me,) for the past 4 days the mountain has been cloud/mist covered until 1 or 2pm. I’ll post a weather report in the morning but I wouldn’t bother trying to get to the slopes too early if I were you,……….you might have a long wait! :roll:
Right, I’m off to check I’ve got everything ready,…………now let me see, Tx, models, toolbox, spectacles and testicles………….

Happy Days:
Good Morning!!!
Now you may think I’m telling you Pork Pies (lies) but the Brass Tacks (facts) are; that I’ve just been up the Apples & Pears (stairs) because my Trouble & Strife (wife) recons the Currant Bun (sun) is breaking through the morning mist. :)
I had a Butcher Hook (look) out of the window and sure enough there it was. But the clouds aren’t moving so there can’t be any George Raft (draft) out there. (In fact the wind speed is actually zero at the moment.)
The Barney Rubble (trouble) with writing any message in this rhythm slang is that it’s so Pony & Trap (crap) I’m not going to do it any more! I’m gonna make myself a cup-a Rosie Lee (tea) instead. :lol: (Phew!)
So here we go on the first morning of the I.S.R. May Glide-In
Conditions are:………..
That all important wind:……………..extremely light and variable in direction, (< 3Km/h)
Temperature: 11 C.
Rel. Humidity 98%
Atmospheric Pressure 1029 steady
Cloud cover: Hazy with broken cloud, clearing.
Visibility: There is a low mist covering valley areas, however for the first time this week Big L. is NOT cloud covered at this time of the morning. (Divine intervention?)
As I said before, I can’t get to the slopes until this afternoon, so I’ll look forward to seeing you then.
(Bring some sun block………you’re gonna need it! :D )

Bill and John , if your reading this then maybe we need to rethink going to Slieve Gallion ! unless you want to fly your DLG gliders.
Fred:
Alright. looks like I'm going to run late today at the slope... Will be more up there at around 11! :!:
BBQ to clean, buy some food, mind the kids, pack the car etc etc... Haven't stopped since 6h30 :(
See you up there! :D
