I'm not sure the weather is going to be good. But I think I will go anyway. They have been wrong about the weather before.

Yes John, seems like the winds will be blowing a little bit for us this weekend, although may be a few showers as well, just to cool us off on Saturday.
Sunday appears to be offering the strongest winds and onto the west slope, that‘s good!. Possibility of some 4 axis flying I think, :D …….I’m expecting great things from Fred. (France being the home of such things. :wink: )


One thing seems for sure, it’s gonna be a little on the cool side up there on Big L. this weekend. So thick woolly jumpers and a willy warmer :oops:  will be the order of the day I think.


For anyone who doesn’t have it yet, this is the site that will give you a real time view of weather on the mountain.

Looking forward to meeting you guys for the first time this year. (It’ll make a change from flying alone.) I intend to be on the slopes from about 12 - 1pm,……………..er, no :roll: ….what I mean is I intend to arrive at the slope between 12 and 1pm on Saturday. :lol:

I wish it would!
I might make it for just an hour or so on Sunday morning - not sure.
This is a 2 day event, yes?

No snow forecast for here Andrew, :roll:  but almost certainly some rain showers. :(  (Hell, it’s only H2O right?)

Winds appear to be a little unpredictable but generally southerly on Saturday. (That will be the slope in front of the Nine Stones car park.)

Today we are experiencing storm force winds here in Co. Wexford :D , alas the mountain has been cloud covered so no flying, :( ……let’s hope for clearer weather tomorrow.

Here I’m running around trying to find a battery for the only PSS model I posses. I know I’ve got one, just can’t find it! :!:

I don’t know who, from the Lienster area, is coming. I assume Fred is, but apart from Alan who’s unsure, I’ve heard nothing from anyone else. It would be a little ironic if the only people to show up from Lienster were an Englishman and a Frenchman, Ha! :lol:
