There are a few of us who glide from Kilakee in the Dublin Mountains on a Saturday afternoon - wind and weather permitting. The slope is good for SW through to W and there is a NW slope at the end of the valley - we generally meet up between 2 to 2.30. The slope is beyond 5 km away so we are stood down for the next 5 weeks but once the restrictions on travel are lifted you are welcome to join us.  We are mainly members of the Island Slope Rebels club which is a national gliding club. In the meantime, post some details of your glider and if you need advice setting it up, people on this forum are very helpful and have a lot of experience.
