Caernarfon to Portmeirion Estuary

Recommended Posts

A flight down the north west Welsh coast by passing the Lleyn Peninsular.

Forgot to say, but a huge thank you to the team at ORBX who have continued to give us mere mortals yet another fantastic area to fly in and escape, just for a while, to a perfect place.

Many thanks for the comments and for looking. Glad you enjoyed the shots. Will do more when I get the time maybe at the weekend.

Love the shots and the "commentary". Is that the RealAir Scout you're flying? I was thinking of getting something to fly low and slow to get the max benefit from Wales and England.

G'day Martytoon it is an Auster J/1N which is freeware on the Classic British Flight Sim site. It is a truly great aeroplane to fly in and explore the countryside at a slow pace.

Stunning shots! The area looks perfect!

P.S. It's 'Llyn' not 'Lleyn' ;)

Thanks Matt, I have apparently used the Anglocised spelling which is for some strange reason not used too much. :unsure:

nice shots keep em coming

Hey Paul, lets do a deal here. You keep bringing out top class products like this and I will carry on uploading screen caps. I never dreamt when using FS2 over 20 years ago that one day we would be flying in such fantastic world as we are now. I hope that I will still be around in 20 years time to see what you are producing then :D

Is Portmeirion itself modelled at all? I want to see Patrick McGoohan (No.6) ... *The Prisoner*!!

Sorry Adam I missed him by 4 years.

However - Portmeirion does exist in RL - did it get into ORBX Wales, I wonder?

It's a stunning little village, doesn't look like it should be in Wales at all, not even the UK for that matter! :D

They have a superb restaurant there and the meals are delicious!

Cheers,

Matt.
