ISR Glide-In - June 17th

[Ron]

That really looks like a brilliant day.
Sorry I missed it now, but we were making last minute arrangements for Mother-In-Law's visit (collected from Cork airport monday), and it is a fair drive from the Sheep's Head.

Definitely coming to the next one, provided it isn't between July 25th and August 7th (Edinburgh Jazz Festival).

And thanks for the pic.

Hi Ron,

Peter is right, you never know what's the weather will looks like until you go at the slope !
Just a pitty that we told the guys coming from far away (Cork, Kerry..) not to come, as the weather may not worth the trip, but as usual, you say don't come, the weather is great, you say come, and it's raining all day... :!:  :!:
Not easy !
So, here are 1 or 2 pictures, was busy flying !  

View of the slope. One of the best slope you can find around here !



Wind !! (that was my rolling joke for the day !   )



Coffee, tea, and light gliders !

Hi Fred,

Hey that's great. And what a slope!

No worries about the unpredictable weather. Been sailing for the last 40 years so I'm used to that :lol:

Not a bad day in the end.With the unpredictable wind/weather favouring us for a change!
Being used to good lift conditions and probably being spoiled and lazy.It was good to do some light lift flying.Just enough lift to stay up and maybe gain some height.Not enough to allow you to relax.A stall or a mistake and you were heading for the valley below! Very good practice and very rewarding.
We shall have to do it again later in the year.

Glad to hear you guys had a good day after all!

Fred, that EasyGlider needs some colour!!

We want to propose organising a Kerry Chapter fly-in this Summer as well, will need to keep in mind what your next date is.....
