Don't go on the weekend as you'll be up there on your own counting sheep. Monday to Friday is the time to go.

Check out the following for all the info.

Here is mine. No doubt the best pass for me this year and the most dramatic and breathtaking pass through the Bwlch and one that will take much beating, so much so i dont think you will ever see anything like it again :rock:

Yes indeed, Great photos in this thread!
Certainly inspires to plan for a visit!

I´ve seen advice in this thread to go to the Mach Loop on monday - friday. Is that any monday - friday? Or are there any periods during the year that are better (flywise) or specific weeks?
Also, many of the provided links above seem to have expired. Where can I find info to plan a visit the best way?

Thanks

Hi Björn,

Yes, unfortunately some of the links are dead. It is all very hit and miss. You just have to take pot luck, I'm afraid on a Monday to Friday. Be aware of Bank Holidays in the UK.
