Hawks in the Hills

[strikerstu]

Two days in Wales brought a small selection of Hawks, 30 knt winds on Monday made photography a bit of a challenge but Tues was a far more pleasent day.

Mon.

You cannot beat a climb up a mountain to get the heart racing and adrenalin pumping waiting for that first jet to appear, even if it did take 5 hours before we saw anything on Monday.

Thanks for looking

Wow! I just can't get over the idea of sitting in the hills and having the aircraft go by like that!

Stu, those are great shots thanks for sharing even if we are envious.

Number four is ABSOLUTELY stunning!!! I really start to envy you guys living near the loops.... will have to pay that area a visit or two next year for sure!

Cheers,

Are you allowed to drive up those hills if you have a vehicle capable of doing so? I could have fun with my Jeep just getting there! In the UK I'd be looking for a Unimog for the trip.
