Drew a complete blank on the last two of these at Clee Hill, although have had a good watch at Eastnor Castle in the past especially when they described our parked car as one of the visual references for the run in to the target !!

FAC Exercise Fast Mover moves on to Eastnor Castle on the 15th, August, 2013 same freqs as Clee Hill and Hay on Wye times 9am through to 23.00. perhaps if you describe the make and colour of your vehicle A GR4 crew could do a bit of painting.

I believe Clee Hill is today, Eastnor Castle is tomorrow (Thursday) and HoW is Friday. I cycled a 36 mile round trip out to EC today to see some of it and then found out on a different notam page it was the wrong day! No matter, was a nice ride.
