Crossing the Ogwen Valley
WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR PILOTS WHO IS ALSO A FAST JET INSTRUCTOR
The Ogwen Valley forms a 1-way system for fast jet traffic moving from the northern plain (Denbigh to Bala) to Anglesey and is regularly used in the week.
The usual crossing point for paragliders is near Zip World, which is exactly where the fast jets need to climb to 2500ft to establish comms regarding possible traffic in the Menai Straits.
