Well I'm hoping the crisp weather of today will hold out! But we know Anglesey has a different weather system to the rest of the uk! Heard a hawk or two over the vale of clwyd today so hoping to see something!
Cheers

I think it was the same one Steve 'Cranwell 84' he said he was landing at Valley to refuel and do the same again. I guess the GR4 was the sick one just before X-Mas heading home.
