Sept 2010 Glide in

Fred:
Hey John,

That's the one when you arrive, on the way to Nine Stones, after the first gate.
We park at the forest gate.
Not sure if I'm clear, but that's the one we flew PSS from :D

Saturday might be alright, seems that will only be a few showers... But of course, locally, we might have nothing!

And good wind for the entire week end  :D

By the way, did you book rooms at the Ryan's pub ?

Happy Days:
John,…….cast your mind back to the time when you, Richard, and I were on Big L.
I think it was after the indoor fly-in near Kiltealy.
Richard was flying his Phase 6 for the first time.
That was the “lower” West Slope. (You might also remember that there's lots of heather near the top of the ridge.)

I like that slope because the Hang & Para-gliders can’t use it, for some reason I don’t understand, so we’ll have ‘clear skies.’

I’m hoping you’re gonna show me some exquisite Vector aerobatics this weekend John. :D  (Three, four point rolls, followed by a stall turn and an outside loop, finishing with a spot landing at my feet!)
I’ll buy you a drink if you do it.!!! :lol:

K.

JohnPearson:
Thanks Fred

This slope is not great for big PSS , therefore I think I will stick to the vector ,extreme and the 4m DR808 this weekend, I haven't called ryans pub, will phone them tomorrow, I know it's late to get a room, but I will take a chance. If we can't get sorted, I can take the motorhome down on saturday and park up some were?

Fred:
Hey John,

With the good blow we are going to have this week end, I don't think flying big PSS will be an issue :)

We flew big fat heavy non aerodynamic gliders on the West slope with less wind than that! Ok, for the PSS event, the wind was not really there, but this slope produce great lift with 20km/h wind and up.  :D

Haven't called Ryan's pub too  :oops:  I'm sure they have some beds free, well fingers crossed anyway !

I don't think there will be an issue to leave the motorhome in Bunclody, or even, why not, at the slope  :D

JohnPearson:
Thanks keith

My internet is playing up tonight and I am getting return messages late,  :evil:  :evil: Yes I know the slope now! as for the fancy flying, I will let richard entertain you, he's flying the vector with added weight, looping and rolling all over the sky. I just fly in his shadow ha ha !
