While John and some of the others were playing in the fog on Slieve Gallion, some of the NIMSA and East Antrim members met at the Bowl in sunshine and 18 - 25 mph winds.

Looks like NI was the place to be for sloping fun yesterday!!! :D
Happy Days:
Yes, a good day Bill :D ………….the little Fox seemed to have a slight problem penetrating into the wind. I had the same prob. with mine.
Good looking slope. I’m quite envious, don’t have much to fly here in easterly winds apart from some sand dunes.
Lucky ol’ you

The fox did have a bit of trouble, but it was blowing about 20 at that point. :shock:
I would think in a 10-12mph wind it would be OK :?:
We have quite a few good Easterly slopes, it's other winds we struggle a bit with. Slieve Gallion covers most, but come the winter it may be a bit difficult to get to the top!
Your easterly slope isn't bad, I flew it last year at Retroplane.

Hello gentlemen, Looks like our friends in NIMSA also had a fantastic day on the Antrim Hills !
The low cloud over the Sperrin Mountains cleared up after lunch and we enjoyed 4 hours of endless flying on the smaller east slope.
Andrews habby stole the show ! what a stunning looking and flying glider. Johns £20 bargain flew a treat and Karl let everyone fly his bullet, even Andrew flew it and he is mode 2 !
I had another prang with my Vector so its back in the sick bay awaiting glue.
The winds were rocking and the Legend was rolling his Flamingo !
All in all a great days fun.
I have a bit of footage edited just waiting the rendering process and then what ever time Youtube takes to clear it. Hopefully it will be up and running tonight.
Uncle Keith, please be gentle on me as I am learning ! :D
Richard
