Killarney Classic days 1,2,3

Two beautiful days to fly just a bit of wind to make the first task difficult pushing out at 6k an hour at 2100m. Second day we got to have a fly over the falls which was great but got greeted by shade the whole way. I got up with the first group at 1pm sitting at base for a race start at 145...which was fun to hang over the hill. They expected a high base and got clearance to extend our airspace to a nice 10,000 ft.

Today we had cloud all around . Some decided to take off at cloud base and float around just below the cloud. One of the girls who flew in a wheel chair due to a hang gliding accident had a crash today snapping the collar bone. Really sad as she was in good mood and uplifting to see her fly.

Now im just trying to stay dry! - Having fun!
