Hello, thanks for accepting me. I live in Brittany, not far from the Menez Hom mountain, a popular slope soaring spot. I lived in Galway a long time ago and still have friends in Galway and Clifden. That's how I earned my nickname. Typically I come to Ireland about twice  year for two weeks each time. Mostly fly fishing. This time I brought a glider since I took up slope soaring last year and went looking around Clonbur where I stayed for a suitable spot. The wind was light and easterly I did not see an obvious place. I am returning home tomorrow so it's a bit late now but I'll be looking for advice on where to fly when I am back around May next year. I'd love to find a spot in Connemara. All the best
Patrick

Salut Paddy,


give us a shout again in about 2 weeks for a reply. I am heading to Normandy for a meeting next week so a little busy at the moment.

All the best
