Depends on your health. If you're anything like your avatar I would stay home and be safe :)
Seriously, Just avoid the pillocks that think that covid 19 has gone away.

Take care

I agree with what d555 has said, you look awful and a nice day out in the sun would do you good, just don't go near anyone. :thumb:

It might be wise to hold off on visiting just yet, there is talk of a local lockdown on Anglesey due to a large outbreak in a meat processing factory. :pop:

Even if you feel safe you can’t cross the border into the land of the Drakeford

Currently at the "2 sisters" processing plant, there have now been 200 confirmed cases. The First Minister Mark Drakeford has been due to announce the possibility of a total lockdown for Anglesey for up to another three weeks. So I would encourage you to stay away until this announcement has been done, as the local opinion is that there is a very good chance we will be going into an island wide lockdown. Question is, will flying continue if the island goes into its own seperate lockdown?
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Irrespective of the new outbreak the rules in Wales mean you can’t travel in am afraid, this will relax from 13 July I think.

I think it's safe now (? :unsure: ), so will be venturing out either Tuesday or Wednesday (no matter what the weather :cool: )

DoesValley shut down for a Summer Holiday and,if so, can anyone advise when this is scheduled this year? I will be in the area w/c 3rd August and would love to shoot some photos of the new Texans

Usually in August for a fortnight. Valley Aviation Society (VAS) will be your best bet for the dates.

Went down there on Tuesday, wx wasn't too bad, runway 31 end (Rhosniegr). I had a great time, never thought I'd have so much fun photographing Hawks again, absence makes the heart grow fonder I guess. :D
