Hello all, I have recently started getting back into planes after being amazed by them as a kid. So I have booked a week off work and I am taking a trip to the mach loop? I was just wondering a few things if any of you guys will be kind enough to help? Here goes. will they will fly over easter? Is it busy nearly every weekday? Is there any good campsites nearby? And where abouts to go? Cheers guys Neil.

Hi Neil,

The hawks at Valley generally fly 8-5 Monday to Friday. Though this week sees night flying. Campsite is in Rhosneigr at the end of Runway 31, you can see the threshold about 1/2 mile from the site.

Mach loop is hit and miss, one day you can have everything in dreadful weather, next day clear blue skies and nothing.

Sorry don't know where to stay near loop ad I drive therein the day,

Steve

Hello Neil,

A lot of the guy's who go to the loop use the Bunkhouse and Campsite in the following links:

http://www.snowdonia-wales.net/acc/bunk/torrent.asp

I have never stayed at either site, but I have spoken to plenty of guy's on the hills who recommend them.

Hope this helps

Cheers guys, Not long now, I'm setting off monday, I hope I have a busy few days.

Well, change of plan I'm there now!, I'm sat outside my tent at the top campsite above. Hope the mach loop is generous tomorrow! anybody got any feelinbgs it's gonna be a good busy week? hope so! Cheers guys Neil.

Wrap up well mate, they are forecasting snow on Tuesday..... typical, I have a day off on Tuesday and was hoping to be somewhere in the loop myself!!!
I'll wait to see what the weathers like before making a decision, but may see you up there!

Good Luck.
Stu.
