I thought you'd never ask!

I hope to be there - for whichever day has the best forecast..........

I hope to attend on one of the days. This weekend looks good too - 2.15pm Saturday at Kilkakee in the Dublin Mountains if anyone is around.

I was flying off the west slope today. :D Great winds, loads of lift but a tad on the chilly side. Autumn's coming lads.

 I'll be around on one of the days next weekend, probably Sunday. ;)

Hi could Big Keith give me a shout we are having problems finding suitable digs. There is a community lodge or something near the slope but I cannot find details anywhere.

Cheers

Sunday is looking nice with gusts to 25Mph onto the west slope. Just my cup of tea :)

Yeah,.....with predicted gusts of 50mph if you add in the "compression" effect at the top of the slope you're probably looking at 70+ mph gusts. Don't have a model that will fly in those, nor the flying ability even if I did! :( But no doubt some brave souls will have a go. ;)
