Caernarfon EGCK
Last year, Caernarfon airfield came in for some bad press (for a variety of reasons).
I spend my resting hours (ha!) in the mountains near there, and have in the past flown from there many times, so I was sad that the reputation went downhill.
Last week, I flew from there three times, and am happy to report that things are back to "what they should be". The airfield is under new management, and is friendly and welcoming.
So if you were staying away "on principle", the time has come to cross out that principle.
There are several PA28s - all old, but in reasonable nick and very reasonably priced for PPL hire (after a very thorough checkout). There is also a much newer C172 - a bit more expensive.
I have no "interest" in the place other than as an occasional user.
And the trip round Llanberis, Snowdon, Beddgelert and Porthmadog (talk to Valley and Llanbedr), when the cloudbase and vis permit, is a delight.
