Camping in Murvagh, kitesurfing in Mullaghmore

Another great weekend! The weatherman got it wrong once again :))) Weekend before last, we drove on Sunday to Rossnowlagh and had a wicked session on small kites. Sun was shining and wind blowing constantly high through the whole day, big swell so sweet waves with large flat sections in the front. And the forecast was for lashing rain and no wind, except for 2h of max 15 knots! 3 of us (Nailer, Gavin and I) couldn't fly anything bigger than 7m kites and we stayed on the water till 6pm...
Forecast for last weekend was rain, rain and more rain...and no wind! We went camping with friends for Derek's bday weekend. Enjoyed campfires on both nights - no rain! Went out for the whole day on Saturday in Mullaghmore - great wind and lots of it at the beginning so was able to play with my 7m. Later Gavin let me have his 9m - got few nice jump transitions and backrolls of the waves in both ways :) Sunday wasn't as good, but as we all had a very lazy morning - stayed in bed till 12 and then went shopping we missed most of wind, still got out for a while on 12m...Star of the weekend was Dee - she got great runs and on Sunday she went almost the whole length of the beach!!! Girls rock!
