Title: Helgafell fun
Post by: selleri on October 13, 2013, 23:26:05 PM

Due to some low clouds and rain we couldn't go to the slope site we wanted today but as it happens the wind was right for Helgafell. We brought the K8B and Kult Quattro.

As Google came for a visit this summer I can show you the site we couldn't go to (https://maps.google.is/?ie=UTF8&ll=64.002836,-21.227002&spn=0.01503,0.038581&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=64.002542,-21.2262&panoid=1p52cyiIOEFUgpL-CN2T1A&cbp=12,261.91,,0,-9.37) and Helgafell (https://maps.google.is/?ie=UTF8&t=m&vpsrc=0&layer=c&cbll=64.180618,-21.612752&panoid=jETvI0aiwZkSoN8t0pSnbw&cbp=12,236.12,,2,-4.14&ll=64.180618,-21.612752&spn=0.015009,0.038581&z=15).

Cheers mate.

Just hope I'll have a chance to pop over and shoot some Irish birds sooner rather than later! You guys are of course also welcome for a visit.    :wink:
