Fred,
   thanks for organising a great weekend. Les and I had a great time. It was super to fly the Dandy and the Dragon in such strong thermal lift. The French were a wonderful bunch, Looking forward to Retroplane next year

Just like to add my vote to the thanks to Fred for a great event (although I suspect he didn't build Mt. Leinster as such!).

I put together a blog giving my personal experience of Sunday with lots of photos and sent it to Fred, but it seems something is wrong?

Hi Chris,

Working on it ! Strangly enough, I don't have access to the ISR website to give access to the blog feature  :wink:
(well, we don't have a lot of request for this feature, might explain the thing  :?: )

Joe, if you are around  :D

Hi Fred,
Thanks for organizing a great weekend. Almost didn't go cause I thought wind would be too light for flying which it was from time to time. Few short hikes down the hill but not too many :)  Enjoyed flying in thermals for first time. :D

Altogether very glad I made it down. Wonderful group from France, nice to meet them all. Hello to Vincent & Joelle, Marie-Ange & Benoil, Ronan & Isabelle, Eawan, Laurent and Stephen. Hopefully see you all next year at Retroplane 2009.

Fred is Bennetsbridge a possibility for campsite for next year, unfortunately its inland.  http://www.camping-ireland.ie/caravan-parks/camping.php?id=60

Hi David and all,

I will take an europe's map to pick up us, you had a good idea in the pub :wink:
