Well what a day that was!!!
Headed up to the loop today with my mind set on Corris, only to find there were roadworks on the layby, and I didnt fancy leaving my car with the workman around all day, so opted for Cad West instead. Got to the car park at 09:00, and the temperature gauge read 1C, bit of a chilly one!! Got togged up with all my gear and as soon as I crossed the stye, got carparked by a hawk!!!Arrived at the top of cad after a brisk 10 minute walk, with not a sole in sight, sat down for a breather, only to be greated by a 2 ship of T2 hawks. Nice one!! I though this would set the standard for the day......... should have known better!!!
I Spent large amounts of the day with perfect light, and no aircraft flying in it, and winds of about 30-40mph pushing me around like a rag doll all day. When an aircraft did arrive, it was so hard to pan it with the wind pushing against my lens, I really struggled. Had a bit of action throughout the day,5 hawks and a chinook past cad, with a further 5-6 hawks coming out of the bwlch straight to Dol
The light was stunning around 3pm, but only had one T2 through to take advantage of it, finally packed up at 15:45 after a long day with me, myself and I as company!! But I cant wait to go back. Any comments would be gratefully recieved.
Heres a couple of pictures from my day, dont be fooled by the light, it was bloody freezing!!!
