1st May 2007
Dunstable - Abergavenny - Snowdon - Irish Sea - Aberporth
Cader Idris, Dolgellau and Barmouth from around 12,000'
Fantastic wave climb almost over the peak of Snowdon, 7 to 8 kts for 4000', stopped climb at FL195
Snowdon in the foreground, note the train station. Great Ormes Head and Llandudno in the distance
RAF Valley from around 17,000'
Holyhead and the Dublin ferry
Returning to Anglesey from the UK/Irish airspace boundary half way across the Irish Sea
Menai Straits on our return to Snowdon around 10,000'
We just couldn't help ourselves! - a second bite at the Snowdon cherry. Here 10 kt airmass passing 13,000'
The Lleyn peninsular after leaving Snowdon for Aberporth, around 14000'
Aberporth airfield (aka West Wales Airport) as we let down
Final approach to an exceptionally smooth and manicured airfield. Our 28m rather overhung the 23m wide runway. Fabulous reception from an extremely friendly and helpful airfield
