1859 forum posts 673 photos	Well once again it looks like it is going to be a year of "NO WIND"!! With the Ribble Valley Event cancelled due to no wind and the rescheduled date also cancelled for No Wind, I have just done a check on the forcast for the 1st Llandudno Meet and again it looks like the most wind will be from those who have beans for their breakfast!!!!! Does anyone have a hotline to the Wind Gods?? Pleae ring them quick!!! On a + side... Its PERFECT weather for Heli Flying!!! (ducks before the sticky buns find their target!!) Dave

2535 forum posts 1790 photos	...and for those that haven't flown with us on the Lleyn Peninsula before, it offers some of the best coastal sites in the UK, with slopes flying ALL compass directions within a small area. The cliff top slopes and landing zones are perfect for PSS - heres a couple of most recent event write ups with photos and video to give you a feel of the event. PSSA MAY 2009 and PSSA AUGUST 2009 Hope to see you there!
