This year’s annual club safari to Kerry is scheduled for the fortnight from 23^rdSeptember to 8^th October. Regulars won’t need to be reminded about it, but anyone wanting to sample this unique gliding experience should plan to clear a few days (or the full fortnight) to attend. The safari is intended for solo pilots, with the two-seater K13 being used mainly to give training and check flights on car-launching and ridge soaring. However, all are welcome to come along if only to observe – and to help with the running of the operation.

Any intending first-timers are advised to get further info about the safari beforehand. Sea, scenery and soaring make for a wonderful combination!
