Rock and Roll Day

Winds at Gullion today were ok at take off but once in the air real rock and roll . Full speedbar needed to stop being blown back. After 15mins landed and packed up. The old saying " down there wishing I was up there and up there wishing I was down there" comes to mind. Anyway got this from the IHPA Forum and think it sums up Paragliding. Thanks Rafal.

Lots of Flying today

Mayobridge today. Excellent flying conditions in WNW winds, with some nice spring thermals. 5 Gliders in the air- Robert, Friend, Liam, Maurice and myself.

Something to Crow about

Expected more rain today, but sky brightened and southerly winds were ideal for Gyles Quay. Got a nice 35mins soaring before winds died off completely.

Boating around

Blackrock, Dundalk

Siberian Weather

Bitterly cold evening flight at Gyles Quay today with Alan and Maurice, as the icy cold winds from Siberia hit Ireland.

Wishful thinking

Was hoping to fly today but forcasts giving stronger winds. Gullion was covered in cloud most of the day. At Mayobridge winds were 25mph. Far too strong except for Donal Hamiltion on his hang glider.

Mourne Mountains 20k Walk

A 20km walk through the beautiful Mourne Mountains today with 11 Crows.
