Carlingford Mt.
Altitude 544m	{}, NE, E, SE, SW, W

Mount Leinster (Mast)
Excellent starting point for many cross country flights in recent years. Great potential in many directions due to the geographical location of Mount Leinster relative to flatland and lower mountains to the north (Wicklow Mountains) and south (Blackstairs Mountains). Caution: when flying the SE bowl, there is no easy landing area directly out in front of take off - pilots must fly over a ridge and around the side of the mountain to be able to land in the Diamond field. It is very easy to get dumped when the wind drops and be unable to get over the ridge between the bowl and the Diamond field. Another danger arises at this site when there is a low-level high-pressure inversion layer present. Winds blowing from the SE are prevented from blowing up the slope of the mountain by the inversion layer and are instead funneled through the Scullogue Gap to form violently changing winds and vortices in the area of the Diamond field. Do not fly the SE-bowl when there is a low-level high-pressure inversion layer. Access via a locked gate. Contact the IHPA to arrange access (www.ihpa.ie). Access via a locked gate.

Mt.Gabriel
Follow the tarmac road up to the Satellite domes. There are no marked launch areas.Large tufts of grass everywhere.Find a suitable place to launch facing into the wind. Site takes NE, SE, W-NW only. Altitude 385m	{}, N, NE, SE, W, NW

Silver Strand
Site not recommended for beginner pilots- rather for some pilots with at least intermediate skills. Take-off can be difficult- you need to find the right spot to inflate your wing to avoid rotor from the cliff (in strong wind). In my experience: in wind from WS-W is the best way to inflate the wing on westerly site of the cliff and walk to the age of the cliff. In the case of the wind from S- SE the best way is to do it on the east wing of the cliff and do the same way. Good luck! Altitude 1m	{}, S, SW

Croghan Mountain - CLOSED
No longer open - Wind Farm recently constructed on Croghan Mountain. http://www.ihpa.ie Altitude 581m	{}, N, NE, SE, S, W, NW
