Any flying fields near Midleton, Co Cork ?

gmb · 2010-05-21 12:19:32

Looking to get back into some R/C flying but can't find much info on clubs and flying fields. There is allegedly a flying field somewhere near Midleton - can anyone give directions or a grid reference so I could pop over some weekend and take a look ?

There are other places, with no clubs on them, where people fly in Cork.
Here is a list : Slope Soaring Flying Sites but the landings are on long grass or heather, not mowed runways.
