Back from holiday on the south coast of Ireland. I managed to get a few flying sessions in. A local one in the meadow behind the relatives house on one of the warmest days of the year so far. A bit of slope lift combined with thermal lift from some of the local houses meant a couple of nice flights of about 20min each. I could have stayed up longer bit dinner was calling!
Second session was a trip to long strand beach in west cork (https://goo.gl/maps/C13ZE) for some dune soaring with the Elf (with 50gms taped onto wing) and Pegasus. Glider dog loved this one. She was able to run about daft chasing the model along the beach much to the amusement of passers by.
Third session was at old head of Kinsale (http://www.greenhobbymodel.com/slopesoaring/castle-kinsale-slope.htm) in a murky gloom. The Pegasus disappeared in the fog a few times, landing was the worst as it was hanging over the landing field. I thought it was gone a couple of times. The photos show it in a nice clear period which lasted about 5min!
I hope to get back another time when the locals are out flying and ideally with the Cobra and some sort of scale model. Perfect location and smooth lift, shame about the fog!
