Mach Loop

There are two lay bys one on top of the Tal y Llyn pass on the A487 Ref756140 and the other on the  Dinas Pass A470 ref 803170.Both are used extensively by motorhomes and are the starting points for access to the high grounds for aircraft photographers. Both are immediately below the flight paths.. Most room at Tal y Llyn. No immediate CC or Cl but there is a campsite/caravan site at Brithdir - Llwyn yr Helm.

Good info, thanks.

Apologies for sliding off topic but what's Mach Loop?

For the deicated its the loop the RAF and other NATO low flying aircraft make regularly. The picture takers are numerous and there must be a web site. Can be very noisy and not the most liked activity by us locals but hey "Its the sound of freedom" as the Yanks say

Just googled it

Some spectacular images

I had never heard of it either but it is something that I would really enjoy.

Spent hours in the hills above the C&CC site at Moffat watching Tornadoes coming up the valley.

Very popular, hundreds of photographers on the rightdays ( they must have info when something speial is on).You are talking of dozens of jett and the big 4 prop transporrts plus the Hawks from RAF Valley. The photographers are in fact looking down on the jets as they come through the passes. Everyone to his/her own thing I suppose. Plenty of pictures on web sites.

Sounds like its going to be a noisy day today.Already Jets sceaming overhead.

I have been researching it. Wow!

I could combine my interests in aviation, photography, camping, have a Fysh on the Mawddach and visit my favourite bookshop in Machynlleth.

I am sure you know the shop Fisherman
