Talgarth Trip Day 4 - Thursday 4th August 2022

 

This was our final day - indeed our travelling home day - but we intended to enjoy more time in the area without rushing to leave it behind.

 

Summit of Allt y Esgair        Alexloop

 

It was a beautiful early morning walk up and over the Iron Age hillfort, and the views into the surrounding valleys from the summit were great.

 

Tom M1EYP        Beautiful early morning views

 

Again I used the Alexloop, allowing for a bit of bandhopping.  Mainly 30m and 20m CW, with a brief excursion onto 17m CW for a S2S into Serbia.

 

Feet up!        QRV nice and early!

 

After a couple of 20m SSB contacts, I packed up, descended, and drove back to the cottage in Talgarth to meet Maz and Liam for breakfast from the local bakery.  Then it was time to start heading home - but it was another beautiful day, and I successfully managed to cajole Marianne and Liam into agreeing to have a walk on High Vinnalls G/WB-012!
