Hi Fred I'm unsure about this Sunday as the kids could be coming. I will let u know tomorrow.
Winds are looking good and from the north west !!
The top of the mountain is mainly heather !!! Landings should not be a bother to a man of you skills and talent lol
If you do need help I'm sure Andrew will land your big bird for you lol

Hi Fred I spoke with JP last night and he is also excited about the new site.
I'm up for a visit and Jp is also interested.
Now it's up to us to arrange a time which suits all!!!
Coming from Dublin on the N1 you will exit at junction 20 follow sign for carrickdale hotel and spa about 200m past the hotel take the road on your right and that will take you up to the top !!!

The first foto is the south slope looking over Dundalk
The second is the east slope looking at the town of warren point carling ford lough leading to the Irish Sea. On a good day you can see the Isle of Man

Today I was bored so decided to go find a new to me slope.
Every time I'm driving home from Wexford or Dublin I look up at a radio mask and wonder how do I get up there?? If there is a mast there is usually a service road.
The mast in question is on the top of the Cooley hills just before the north south border.
Well my friends today I found the road YIPPEE !!
The mountain has slopes in ever direction with the best being north south and east. The west slope is good but the others are fantastic.
I was a prick and never brought a plane with me but going by the ravens there is plenty of good air.
All slopes are beside the roads so minimal walking envolved which suits me lol
The landing areas are mainly all heather so cushioned landings
