I won't be visiting...
But with todays FAC with the Sniper and Litening Pods a lot of it takes place at medium level... they only come down low level if the JTAC needs them too or if clouds prevent them doing their work higher up.
They usually do a few show of forces over the area but thats it...
As with all the exercises now, they spend minimal time at low level to prevent any noise complaints of jets circling for an hour over the same area.
The horsey types don't take kindly to Typhoons or F-15s orbiting over their land.
Obviously it is needed to come down lower at certain times but they rarely spend more than 5-10 mins at lower levels if the sky above is nice and clear.

If i lived in the area then i would definately go for a stroll up there.... worth a look even if its just to walk the dog!
