Thanks for the reply guys, I have visited Tebay (known as M6 pass) in 2010, and have observed FAC exercises at Clee Hill.

My main interest in Wye Valley though due to my location in the South West. I was reading an sad article last night on a Gazelle crash near Chepstow where contact had been made with cables when routing from Shawbury to Culdrose. (around 20 years ago I beleive).

Any up-to-date info on the Wye Valley route would be appreciated - its a long route Chepstow-Monmouth-Ross on Wye- Hay on Wye - Builth Wells, so does anyone know what the most popular segment is? I've seen a Merlin at treetop height between Hay-Builth, and a pilot for 208sqn said they use Chepstow-Monmouth.

Thanks
Alex
