Where is the Mach Loop please. We are visiting Wales in a couple of weeks and whilst we can't stay in the area thought I may be able to 'get lost' and need to detour.

In the hills!

Look here;

Just take your walking boots and don't forget your spare camera batteries!

If your health is not the best you can access Cad East via the farm gate and travel up the East side, shutting all the gates behind you, when you get to the top you come to the wooded area and a further gate. there is limited parking here, however it is only a short walk to the edge. i have highlighted the route on this map.

This shot was taken from here.

Cad East for undersides, Cad west for Top sides...........
Traditionally the extra effort to get to Cad West seems worth it.

I see a couple of fora have stated there is to be one of the greatest flypasts ever on the 15th at Mona - Jubilee Practice?????

Loooks like I now need to go a day early

by **Dee** » Thu May 03, 2012 2:06 pm

Wonderful, thanks for all the info

Damn it to hell!!! just looked at the dates and we are in Scotland Otter and Eagle hunting that week :((

I suppose they practice here most of the time? ~x(

Dee, I'm SHOCKED, I thought that sort of thing was OUTLAWED years ago! :-o

Agh, I REALLY want to go to the loop sometime but I can't see it happening for a very long time ~x(

There will be nothing left flying by the time you get round to it!

Show a little Determination!!!!!!!!

If you WANT to go badly enough you
WILL go!!!!!!!

XPL: Thats probably true... although on the other hand... imagine an F-35 low level!

Dan4th: Well, that's what you think! It's a pretty long story as to why I won't be going (unless I save up and pay for the fuel myself

)

by **Dan4th** » Thu May 03, 2012 5:56 pm

unless I save up and pay for the fuel myself

Well, there's that.......

And you could always try to put together
a GROUP of friends to split the costs....

You're getting old enough to do things on
your own with a little initiative....

I still say you could do it if you REALLY
wanted to

...... and public transport (with student discounts) and walking boots are still widely available in the UK. :))

The idea of saving up myself might work on second thoughts, If I have about £45-50 than that should be enough to get there and possibly camp overnight

But it's just an idea

Some of the greatest things in the
world started out as "Just Ideas"

The practice flypast is scheduled for 10 - 11.30 so too early for us as it's a 5+ hr drive so I'm not inclined to leave home at 4.

You have NO dedication! :-o

by **Mayfly** » Tue May 08, 2012 9:25 am

Perhaps that true but it's not just me to think about.

by **Nickolas** » Tue May 08, 2012 3:50 pm

Put Mr Grumpy in the night before in his sleeping bag and set off at will. No worries madam.

by **Xplumberlives** » Tue May 08, 2012 5:41 pm

I must be like living with an EX SMOKER, DT has had his fill of planes and walked away, not wanting to go back!

by **Olicat** » Sat May 26, 2012 11:21 am

Apologies for bringing this up again, but...

... I think I may be going in just over a weeks time!

Hopefully doing Cad East then Cad West, then sleeping overnight at a nearby hotel and then doing Bluebell or Bwlch the next day!

Can't wait!
