Hmm, 1700' cloudbase, informed that the Menai was negotiable underneath the cloud until Bangor where the cloudbase rose to 3000' and no IMC rating.
Yet still a direct track drawn from Caernarfon to Colwyn Bay.
Accident waiting to happen?
Clearly so. This is a pilots' forum and if you can't call a spade a spade here, then where can you?
