Mweelin

Take-off anywhere in the bowl that faces directly into the wind.
Take-off by the gate on top is the best place as the better house thermal is out in front of here.

Some of the strongest thermals in ireland here.
There are two regular thermals here.
1. from the farmers shed in the middle of the bowl
2. from the trees south of the house, below the top gate.

other thermals too in front of the gulley when flying in a southeast wind.
There is a nice XC to the southwest and south along the ridge, eventually ending up at Gougane Barra lake and church.
Thermal no.2 has taken pilots to 6000ft and above on good sunny days.
Even when cloudy this site works very nicely and the house thermal is almost always there.
The site has also been flow a few times on a dark cloudy day with westerly wind and a surprisingly good flight was had each time, always reaching the low cloudbase. Take-off from the top gate for this.

Takeoff altitude: 438m
