Hi everyone,
I hope I can remember how to fly - I have only flown once or twice since last October......

About this weekend.

Will anyone be there?
Does anyone know if the Mt Leinster Road is open?
Does anyone want any lead?

Hi Jim,

Same here  Serious cabin fever!!
I'll be there whatever the weather, I need to dust off!

Hi All
Happened to be in Wexford today with work, Took the time to check access to Mt Leinster road not yet cleared on the approach from Kilteely last 500 to 600 meters is still blocked. Then tried approach from Bunclody could only get to westerly parking spot and sign saying road closed.
As you can see in the photos road has been cleared up to where it enters the clouds so might just be open tomorrow.
Bring snow shoes or skies and wrap up well! I will head down just to catch up with everyone if nothing else,

See you tomorrow

Joe

[Flamingo Flier]

Thanks Joe,
I kinda thought it might be like that and if the wind is from the south - as forecast - we need to get to the top! Anyway I too will travel down in hope tomorrow - maybe it will be just for a chat - we will see.

Pouring rain but just packed and ready to go.

Things can only get better???

See you later lads

[Fred]

OOHHH!
Did not thought of the snow!

Remember we have another glide in in about 3 weeks time, you don’t have to travel if you are coming from far away!

We will be there anyway for the usual chat, coffees and banters
And show off the winter projects

[Fred]

UP there!

Raining, it supposed to clear up at 12 ish.

Meeting is at the café place beside SuperValu!!

[Fred]

Quick update!

The road to 9 stones is blocked!! Thanks Chris for walking up there

So, it’s flyable, we just can’t get up there

[Alan_Perse]

Thanks for the update Fred. I guess I won’t be going then. See you all at the April fly-in.

The road up would have been fun in the landy, but not entirely in a good way, there were sections where it was hard to tell where the road ended and some of the drifts were easily 1 metre deep in spots.

Ninestones itself was quite usable, if one could get there, but the sign said "Road Closed" and it wasn't joking.

[Fred]

Alrighty, mount Leinster delivered again!
Les and Joe flew!  Nice one guys!

Sorry, today will not be the day nobody flew at a fly in!

Bring on tomorrow!!
