Je passe deux semaines à Clonbur en mai prochain, pêche mouche mais j'emmènerai peut être un planeur. Y a t'il des pentes recommandées dans le triangle Clifden Leenane Clonbur?
merci de votre aide

Slope Sites in Ireland / Glenveagh national park - Donegal

« on: May 21, 2022, 08:25:14 AM »

Hello all, I am from Brittany, typically flying at the Menez Hom location on Douarnenez bay. I will be staying for two weeks near lake Beagh at the Glenveagh national park starting end of next week. Though fly fishing is my main objective, I wonder if I should bring a glider or two? Any hint or recommandation welcome, thanks.

Slope Soaring / New member from Brittany

« on: September 10, 2021, 08:19:00 AM »

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
