    Some long overdue info for the Glide-in Sunday 17th June at Mt Leinster.
    We will meet at Nine Stones at 10am.See the map below.There is a car park here and a gate that leads up to the RTE mast.

    The north slope is here at nine stones and very easy to access. The west slope is on the road to Nine Stones, so access here is very easy too. The south slopes are a little more work to get to. They involve a trek up the road to the mast. We don't have a key for the gate (working on it).We might be able to slip in with some of the Paraglider/hang-glider guys if they are there and drive up. If not, we have a quad and a trailer to shuttle people up and save a bit of a walk!

    We don't have a lot in the way of east slopes a Mt Leinster.North-east is great on the north slope. Directly east is a problem. There are sites by the sea, thats a bit of a drive though!

    In case the wind is light we would suggest bringing electric planes/gliders just in case!

    The map shows directions from Bunclody.It is also possible to get to Nine Stones from Borris (south-west of ML).This would probably be a better option for those of you coming from the south-west. I'm sure there are signposts from Borris!
