    Mach Loop - The Official Guide
    Images in this video were all shot using a Canon 1DX MKII and a 100mm - 400mm MKII Lens
    BRIEF: This video is a snapshot of a 2-day visit I made to the Mach Loop (Wales) on the 27th & 28th Jun 2017. It's fully intended to offer the viewer an insight into what they can expect if they're planning a similar trip. Nothing is a guarantee though!
    This short film is fully intended to capture the emotions and dramas of visiting the Loop.
    ADVICE: This video explains how to find Cad West/East. Where to Park, but more importantly than that how to take the pictures.
    We cover it all...
    WHERE IS IT?
    WHERE DO I PARK?
    HOW FAR IS TO WALK
    WHAT EQUIPMENT?
    WHAT CAMERA?
    WHAT LENS?
    WHERE CAN I STAY?
    CAN I CAMP THERE?
    This video and accompanying web page covers it all!
    COMMUNITY PROJECT: This video is unlike every other video. I want to share your experiences with others. Got any videos you want to share? Any Pictures? Any advice you feel will be appropriate?
    SHARE YOUR VIDEOS
    SHARE YOUR PICTURES
    SHARE YOUR STORIES (good and bad)
    Just add them to the description and I'll share them on my web page. I will of course credit you back.

    Thanks so much, Gary. We're in the states and are planning our first out of country family trip this summer, and my daughter suggested the UK. Once I immediately realized that I'd be checking the loop off my bucket list, and your site has been instrumental in helping us plan. This will likely be the last chance in my lifetime to see it, and greatly appreciate what you've done in helping us get there to enjoy it!

    Thanks for the amazing pics. The Typhoon is one heck of a beautiful aircraft. When i used to fly Tornados and flew in the loop (or roundabout as US aircrew call it ) I was always amazed at the number of diehard aircraft enthusiasts perched on the hilltops. Now I am retired and miss the flying but still my heart is up there in the GR4. Again fabulous shots and helpful for anyone wishing to join in. .

    What a fantastic video, and a fantastic presenter. This is something I really want to do (only found out about it about an hour ago!!) as a keen photographer, with about a year's experience but have had a lull in inspiration over the last 7 months since my Dad passed away. He got me into photography and I have inherited about 20 cameras. Last June he bought me a Lumix G3 which I love. I will be taking that and maybe a few others, just need a more suitable lens. This video has gotten me excited again, thank you and you have a new subscriber.

    Sounds to me a huge debt of gratitude is due to that farmer. People who can’t respect this gentlemen’s property and fencing could easily destroy this rare privilege. I would be one for setting up a donation bucket for the farmer and send him a letter of appreciation annually. It kind of like asking for hunting privileges here in the US on farmers and rancher properties. The interlopers ruin it for so others.

    • @GaryGough
      @GaryGough  5 років тому +3

    • @1346crecy
      @1346crecy 3 роки тому +1

      Slightly different here in terms of access to land in the UK because of public rights of way. However ,the point you make is an excellent one about respecting the countryside and peoples land and livestock. I was taught always close the gate behind you from a very early age and also domestic (not working) dogs and livestock don't mix.

  • @DaveTheCanMaker
    @DaveTheCanMaker 6 років тому +101

    As a regular in the Loop I'd just like to say there is no animosity towards people coming there for the thrill of seeing Low Level flying. I have and always will answer questions and give advice freely to anyone who asks but the one thing I stress is to be prepared. Walking on the hills is not like walking around your town. The number of people I see with trainers or other unsuitable footwear...even flip flops...is unbelievable. Yes it's summer and it can be nice and warm at the base of the hill but even going slightly higher and the temperature and wind can become an issue. I realise MOST people use their common sense but it's the selfish and ignorant that are going to spoil the Loop for all. Easy things to remember will make it easier for all to continue to enjoy it...Don't block the layby at Cad West...lorries use it to let the traffic flow along the road...don't park on the road if the layby is full. Police are taking steps with those that do. Stay on the tracks/paths...don't climb over fences the farmers have put them there for a purpose. Take your litter home...you carried it up...take it down. Don't block other cars in...some people are not there all day. Close all gates after you...the number of times gates have been left open is unbelievable. Don't block gates...farmers need access at any time. Never ever fly drones in the Loop...it's a Military Low Flying Training Area...jets don't always come from the expected route...believe it or not there have been instances of idiots doing this ! Not difficult is it? Following the above means everybody can continue to enjoy the Loop.

      I am an experienced hill walker and I’m well aware of how to dress. In any event that has nothing to do with my point. The point is that people hill walk to enjoy nature. I live near Cader Idris and I feel I should be able to enjoy my back yard without this startling “boom” as you put it. It is incredible arrogance to assume this kind of intrusion is acceptable

      @tectorama..only because they either stole it, or bought it off people that stole it. I believe that's called handling stolen goods, but as it seems there is little chance of getting our property back, I'll settle for reasonable access to national park land, obviously respecting the rights of landowners, and ensuring livestock are safe, and no damage is done, no litter left.

    Great video Gary Brings back memories in the 70s I lived in Hereford and we used to have a lot of low flying over the city, one afternoon I actually got bussed by a couple of low level Harriers while returning to the bakery in my large red and white Mothers Pride Van they did a couple of passes from behind then waggled their wings as much to say got ya scared me to death
    Thanks for a great video

Not sure about others talking about elitism, ive always been led to believe the regulars up on Cad East/West are quite friendly and willing to advise on camera settings without prejudice. I look forward to my first trip up tjere with a camera soon, and thanks for the video..good stuff!

    An excellent, well put together video with good advice and delivered with enthusiasm. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter and the like so I don't know what people are getting upset about, could someone
    enlighten me? It's not as if LFA7 is a secret, the RAF have been using it for donkeys years and people have been going there for years to photograph the aircraft, some people even used something called
    35mm film! ( look it up on Wikipedia kids.) I myself have only been going for a couple of years and so far have managed a total of about 15 days. I've not met any really grumpy guys, or gals, most people
    have been great to chat to and some really go out of their way to help. On a recent trip a complete stranger loaned me a 32 Gb card as I forgot my spare. We are all there for the same great hobby in
    beautiful surroundings. So lets not get worked up about nothing. I saw nothing in the video to get upset about, the Loop has been 'advertised' before, not least on social media, and it will be again. The only thing I get upset about is when people don't respect the countryside, but that upsets me on all my travels anywhere. So if you've never been it's a great way to spend a day. But be warned, in my 15 or so days I've sat there all day and seen nothing on a couple of occasions. Nice views though and good banter. And once again, great video Gary.

    • @GaryGough
      @GaryGough  6 років тому +1

      Hi David, Very kind comments and thank you for taking time out write it. I'm flattered to think that some Facebook people presume my video will bring thousands of new photographers to the Loop. lol Like you said, I haven't divulged any new secrets for heavens sake. I found out about the car park at the back of Cad East myself from a Hotel Website. go figure!
      Every time I go there I only meet nice people too. Going there is more about the crack. If you see some aircraft then it's a Brucy Bonus and we all know :)

    This is amazing! If this was in the US, it would be located inside military airspace, nobody would be allowed to come within miles, there would be signs reading something like, "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!", and there would be CCTV security cameras blanketing every square inch for miles!!! I've checked, visit the new World Trade Center in Manhattan, and skydiving off my bucket list, it seems now that after the Grand Canyon, I'm gonna have to go to Europe! I'll have to decide if I wanna do that before or after Alaska...

      Sounds like it's a huge bucket list, good on you. It's a very unique place to visit.

Our signs will just say "please stay away" We're a little softer in the UK ;)

    Dear Gary! I just want to say thx for your efforts you put in this channel and your website. I am from Vienna/Austria and visited the Mach-Loop in April 2018 for the first time. I checked all your videos and all the location-insights on the hp and honestly they are totaly true and valid. You made it easy for me to plan my trip and have a great time with Tornados, Hawks and F-15's. Only one adition from my side: I recommend everybody to bring walking-sticks. When the wind blows strong they can help to prevent your belongings (f.e. the folding chair) to be blown away when you ram them deep into the ground. Once again Gary, thank you - you made my day! ;-)
