Hi Fellas,
looking forward to meeting you all up on Mt. L next weekend. At the moment I am looking for a campsite or B&B close by.
Whats the  long range forecast looking like, never having flown there before I am not sure what to bring?? I think lighter small planes with an electric as backup might do it?

Hi Peter  

The NI guys and myself will stay at the Ryan's pub (aka The Moss House) in Bunclody (10 minutes from the slope   )
Cheap and good... And a pub !

087-6438168 to book a room.

Saw the Farmers weather forcast for the week ahead. Looks like the weather could be perfect for the fly-in    . But probably to early to tell.

[David Kelly]

Fly in? Have I missed something?

[Happy Days]

No Dave you haven’t missed anything,………yet. Next weekend is our PSS glide-in.

I think we should all get an ISR “T” shirt and wear it at the Glide-In. On the back should be printed

“The answers are:-

1/ As far as you can see it.

2/About 100Km/h

3/ Anything from €100 to over €5000”

I was up on Big L today and there were hundreds (well, may be not quite hundreds) of sightseers and I got totally fed up with their same old questions.

I have to admit I wasn’t in a particularly good mood anyway because I couldn’t find any lift! :evil:

As Fred says the 3 of us coming down from the North are staying at the Moss House. John P and I stayed there for last years fly in and it's very reasonable and of course the bar is VERY close................................right below us!

In answer to your questions about what planes to fly Peter. :?:

At the moment the wind directions seems to be set for westerly’s on Sunday. The west ridges (there are three on Mt. Lienster )all produce very good lift.  If the wind speed is at least 10Km/h any light model will fly with ease. If the wind is higher than 20Km/h, almost anything will fly.
(I once invited my mother-in-law to try flying her broomstick off Big L. She declined my offer! :!: )

Here's a fourth answer to satisfy a question that kids sometimes ask:

4/ No I'm not going to crash it.

Thanks for your replies

Booked into Moss House, Pub sounded good :lol: Fred & Bill
Sounds like plenty of slope choices, should be great.
Keith I like your idea for your tee shirt, but you forgot one question: How do you land it ?     My usual reply is "right next to me "      which clears the area fast!!
cheers

[Happy Days]

Alan,
I wouldn’t be able to put your suggestion for a fourth answer on my T shirt.
(Knowing me, I probably would crash it.) :oops:

Peter,
That’s a good answer. Invariably onlookers want to picnic right in the middle of the landing area don’t they. :!:

The forecasts are for SW winds on Sunday now………..Not such a good slope, but if it’s sunny we might get some thermal flying. :?:
