Warplane has a fairly comprehensive guide to low flying and plenty of nice photos, too. Low flying isn't just exclusive to Wales, so you have a fair few options to go for.

thanks guys.
And yup, the weather really was a nuscience. My face happens to be redder than a stop light today, yet the wind has given me a stiff neck and headache.. Without the rocks for cover I dont think lasting all day would have been easy. ;D

LOL, I did ask if it was a good idea wearing them ;D
we're both airshow vets, so no excuse for not having the suncream. Both knew the results. ;) ;D
