The Big L fly-in 28th 29th Sept
« on: September 06, 2013, 07:03:06 AM »
Date : 28-29 September 2013
Location : Mt Leinster Co. Wexford
Event name : ISR Slope Fly-In - Open to all gliders!
Contact : Fred - Fred@gliderireland.net - http://www.gliderireland.net


The summer is over and to tell the truth I have had very little flying due to operations and house renovation so I'm so so looking forward to our annual trip to the big L !!!
Andrew and John are also getting their planes prepared for the trip and this year for me it's going to be very special !!!
Why you ask ????
Well my friends I have 2 very special guest that are travelling the whole way from Lithuania to join us !!!!!
Donatas Pauzuolis and Richardas Siumbrys are going to have there first experience of slope gliding in Ireland.
This is going to be one special weekend of flying and having fun with friends.
I really hope we have a great turn out of pilots as you will meet 2 really great guys that are extremely top class pilots.

Er,……….”2 extremely top class pilots!”  OMG :shock: , suddenly I feel ‘extremely’ inadequate. ( I hope they wont laugh at my attempts at flying. :( )

Impressive video! :D   Thermaling off of the roof of, what I think was, a hanger. :clap:  Ha! Extremely agile DLG’s 8)

I’m Looking forward to meeting them. ( Donatas and Richardas I mean,…not the DLGs. Well, I’d like to also see the DLG’s :oops:  …….I’m digging myself into a hole here lads. Think I’d better shut up!)


Alas I’ll only be at the Big L on Sunday. :cry:  I have to attend a family reunion in the UK and I wont arrive home till the Saturday.

Let’s just hope the weather holds up for us.

Phew, well that’s a relief! :)

Yes I’ve seen Donatas flying indoor before, and I’ve enjoyed his little tail about Natasha’s desire for “Big Propellers” (Such suggestive lyrics :oops: ) Just as a passing thought,……is Natasha coming to the Big L as well? :P

By the way, I’m sorry to hear about your operations. I had to go into hospital a couple of years back myself. (To have my wallet opened :cry: ) I hate coming out of those general anaesthetics, I always feel so groggy for the rest of the day. Although I s’pose it’s better to feel groggy, than not come out of the anaesthetic at all! :lol:

I’ll look forward to meeting our friends from the continent at the end of the month.

So, they keep having radio glitches if I analyse the video!  :lol:  :P  :clap:  :clap:

That is very good! Good to receive some flyers (and not any of them of top of that!  :clap: ) from Eastern Europe!

Moss house is fully booked (thanks John) and I'll bring extra beds with me, just in case, but sound like we will have fun!
Bring food and drinks! I'll have the BBQ too with sausages, buns etc etc (the usual!)

Ok, now, I'm out of Orgeat sirup for the Ricard!! APERO!!!  :D  :D

And I'll kill a poor chicken next week for the weather Gods!  :D

That’s about right Richard, half an Englishman, for half the time!

Well, give Kees a call and tell him to get his butt over here! Welcome to Ilja, glad you can join the happy throng :clap: There’s only one rule at this event Ilja, you’re not allowed to fly (slope soarers)  better than me on your first attempt. (Otherwise I’ll cry!!)

This is indeed turning into an international event.
Only hope the weather holds up for us. :wink:
