EI-128 on Inch Strand

Last September a large group of glider enthusiasts spent a weekend at Inch Strand in Co. Kerry. They were from two clubs, one in Dublin and one from further north I think. I took down their details but that scrap of paper is long lost at this stage.

Conditions weren’t the best on the day we passed the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind wasn’t blowing in the right direction and the only aircraft I saw flying was a powered one. We were on our way home so couldn’t wait around unfortunately. I still got some nice shots. Hopefully I’ll find time to work on them over the next few weeks!

    Nice! Can you believe I used to fly one of those things? I can’t believe I’m still alive.

    Very cool aspect – nice work! Any other angle wouldn’t have been nearly as unique.

    Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Strand, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
