Student Trip to Caernarfon via Snowdon Summer 2024

An early start as we depart Elstree initially Westbound via Bovingdon and turn right at Chequers changing our heading to North Westbound for Wales. We fly over Bicester and Weston on the Green, landmark spotting; Chateau Impney and Shrewsbury Hills and Lake Vyrnwy. We circumnavigate the reservoir and continue North for some mountaineering as we 'climb' Mt. Snowden! After we reach the summit we descend into Caernarfon Airport for fuel and lunch at The Caffi HEMS Cafe. Once suitably refreshed, we head South via the Magnificent Mach Loop before back retracing our steps to back home to Elstree.  If you are currently learning to fly our student trips are great practise for navigation, straight and level flight and radio work as well of course as being jolly good fun! Already passed? These trips are a great excuse to use your PPL, hone your skills, hour build or just spend time with other pilots. Aircraft owners are also welcome to join us, the more the merrier!
