I'll be touring the country with my family for two weeks beginning the evening of June 13. I'll be mostly free for some part of the day June 14 and if anyone is sloping in the Tel Aviv area I'd like to meet you. I'm an avid sloper and ds'er who would really enjoy sharing some stick time with you flying in the sea breeze if the weather is right.
I personally have no problem traveling on Saturday, if there is a way to get to the flying site, perhaps a taxi?

I'm not a sloper myself, and you really need an answer from someone who is, but... to the best of my knowledge the place you're looking for is the hill in Bat Yam, just South of Tel-Aviv. Probably 15 minutes drive from the Tel-Aviv hotels area.

The paved road ends in a loop, and you can either climb up the hill, or drive around the back and up the hill on a bumpy dirt road.

Once again, you'll really have to find a sloper to verify the info.

Best of luck,
Joe

Sorry, only now did I see your post. You missed an EasyGlider flatland contest, and glorious slope conditions to boot on the 14th!
I will be flying next Friday 20th, but I don't know yet where. Depending on the wind, it could be slope or flat land. I have an Easyglider to maiden, and a buddy of mine wants to maiden his Unicorn. If I'm not going to the slope, I can put you in touch was some guys who will.

If you like, give me a call on my mobile 0546305999, and we'll see what can be done.
