Hi fred, I checked scrap yards up here this morning and it seems the tail lights are really hard to get second hand.
The vw Sharon is the same light but the ford galaxy is different.

Great reports from Fred and Keith.

Our guests have returned to Lithuanian buzzing with first the slope pilots of Ireland and secondly with the feeling of flying off mountain and especially flying below yourself !!!!

I never heard anyone so pasionate about returning back to fly again.
As Keith said Lithuanian is a flat country and they only fly thermals looking up.

Richardas "the long walker" has already made arrangements to transport gliders to Dublin for next year.

So many thanks to so many people for making this trip so special.

Roll on 2014

The summer is over and to tell the truth I have had very little flying due to operations and house renovation so I'm so so looking forward to our annual trip to the big L !!!
Andrew and John are also getting their planes prepared for the trip and this year for me it's going to be very special !!!
Why you ask ?
Well my friends I have 2 very special guest that are travelling the whole way from Lithuania to join us !!!!!
Donatas Pauzuolis and Richardas Siumbrys are going to have there first experience of slope gliding in Ireland.
This is going to be one special weekend of flying and having fun with friends.
I really hope we have a great turn out of pilots as you will meet 2 really great guys that are extremely top class pilots.

Hi Edward as Andrew said the wind direction the last few years did not work for rathlin but I'm sure you have seen the fotos of all the other lovely slopes that are available along the coast to fly.
Rathlin and the north coast offers us plenty of scope so next years road trip is all ready being planned !!!!
We will announce the date after Christmas once we learn of the areas competition dates.
