Hi Adrian,

As usual  ;D
Peg board available, but we are usually 2 or 3 on 35Mhz, so we should be able to manage  ;)

I won't be able to make it this year. My health is acting up. Hopefully I'll see you all at the next meeting.

Well, if you're going Gerry, then I might saunter up, just to ahoy everyone....(? Or even annoy them as well!)

Gentle breezes on the north slope (9 Stones). Hmmm,......Might take my beaten up Phase 6, (I'm in the process of building another new one. Well actually it's another, another new one, if you get my drift.) And something for slightly lighter conditions in case the wind drops.

By all accounts it's going to be COLD up there :o. ( Note to self: remember to take a willy warmer.)

See you there lads.

Alright, after a 3 hrs drive, made it to Mt Leinster to meet Ralph :)
Started with a couple of first flights.
Micro Lunak. Done! Really like it, this one will stay charged in the car all the time!
Fouga Magister. Done! I like it! Fly great, even with an "adaptive" CG. Ok, forgot to fix the battery! Oooppss :)
Guinness and Baileys in the pub. Done!
Started to build a glider in the B&B. Done!
Glued former to finger. Done! :)

Very good evening, and looking forward to see you all tomorrow.

Time to sleep now! ( Ralph is snoring!!!)

Yeah, I suffer with wind some times. Although it's not something I would want publicized! :-[

It was good to meet up again with regular glide-in faces and with a northerly breeze everything that was launched, flew. Unfortunately not everything that flew landed.........some crashed, but hey,.....not everyone is perfect ;)!

Thanks to everybody for coming. Another very successful day we had!
Lots of flying, great slope and wind, and most importantly, good bunch of friends!

Knackered but happy!
