Dutchboy 0 #1 April 17, 2001 Just checked the forecast. It's supposed to rain the whole time I'm in Ireland later this week. Everyone get out the chickens to sacrifice to the sun gods. I've yet to actually jump out of the state, much less out the the country. Even when I was in So Cal the weather was crap!I'm excited at the idea of jumping with the folks at the Irish Parachute Club. Just from the e-mail correspondence I've had with them, they seem like a fun group of people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffermoose 0 #2 April 17, 2001 don't even bother listening to the forecast around the u.k and ireland because you will find everyone hanging around the drop zone and at the first glimpse of a blue bit people are kicking down the manifest door ready to get up there, i've only jumped in the u.k and it's just a matter of patience the forcasters never get it right any howblue skies and amber liquid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #9 April 17, 2001 QuoteDid you ever make it to Hastings? The weather here has been pretty awful latelyNo, I had some issues with my flight up to GRR getting cancelled. They put me on a later (non-direct!) flight, but the plane had to return to ATL when the landing gear wouldn't retract. Instead of getting in at 11:30am on Friday I got in closer to 5pm and didn't have time to jump. It was actually a nice enough day too. Hopefully I can get some jumps in at IPC this weekend.
