Talgarth Trip Day 3 - Wednesday 3rd August 2022

 

Another early jaunt up a hill.  Unfortunately damp, drizzly and misty so no views to enjoy.  A murky glimpse of the reservoir on the descent was the nearest thing I got to anything resembling a view!

This hill is a pretty short walk up from the parking area.  A reasonably fit person would probably do it in 10-15 minutes.  I took a little longer!

Operating using the Alexloop antenna afforded me multiband capability, so I hopped around between 20m, 30, and 40m, making seven QSOs.

Back at the holiday cottage by 8.45am so still got the full day ahead.  Fortunately, the weather cheered up significantly, and Marianne and Liam fancied a walk - so off to Pen y Fan GW/SW-001 for us.
