Fred,
   thanks for organising a great weekend. Les and I had a great time. It was super to fly the Dandy and the Dragon in such strong thermal lift. The French were a wonderful bunch, Looking forward to Retroplane next year

Hi Guys,

Just like to add my vote to the thanks to Fred for a great event (although I suspect he didn't build Mt. Leinster as such!).

I put together a blog giving my personal experience of Sunday with lots of photos and sent it to Fred, but it seems something is wrong?

Hi Chris,

Working on it ! Strangly enough, I don't have access to the ISR website to give access to the blog feature  :wink:
(well, we don't have a lot of request for this feature, might explain the thing  :?: )

Joe, if you are around  

[cvanscho]

And to finish, Vincent, Retroplane master ! Well, flying something certainly not made of wood and fabric ! Shame on you !  :lol:

Hi Fred,
Thanks for organizing a great weekend. Almost didn't go cause I thought wind would be too light for flying which it was from time to time. Few short hikes down the hill but not too many  Enjoyed flying in thermals for first time.

Altogether very glad I made it down. Wonderful group from France, nice to meet them all. Hello to Vincent & Joelle, Marie-Ange & Benoil, Ronan & Isabelle, Eawan, Laurent and Stephen. Hopefully see you all next year at Retroplane 2009.

Fred is Bennetsbridge a possibility for campsite for next year, unfortunately its inland.  http://www.camping-ireland.ie/caravan-parks/camping.php?id=60
