Guys. We need to call this!!Dave Lillis wrote:IF the weather is looking like its going to be clear in Limerick but not in Skerries or Garran point, then we all go home and meet up again after midnight and head up to Tountinne
I'm going to bed for a few hours (been on nights)
It's looking like the North is out.
Skerries is still a maybe but the best odds are actually here in Limerick.
So is there a plan?
Like in storm chasers "We need to make a decision Reed!!!"

is 2.30 leaving it abit late, ??
I was thinking we head up to tountina and IF the site was too windy, it leaves us enough time to find a better place further down the mountain.
remember the 2010 lunar eclipse.....
this was something we should trash out and was going to at half six when we all meet up.
and of course, we dont all have to go up at the same time.

well, its really the peak we'll have to go to, so Simon says
he knows the place very well from been in the radio club.
now, its going to be windy up there, but we should be able to go in the wind shadow of the buildings there, so it should be ok.
