Our third and final summit on Sunday 18th August 2013 was Agnew's Hill
GI/AH-005, the most local SOTA summit to Larne, Co. Antrim. A bit of a pain of a
"round the houses" driving route at least gave us some previews of the
impressive looking Slemish GI/AH-007 which we would
climb in the next few days.
We pulled into the usual rectangular walled parking spot, a couple of hundred
yards or so up from the waymarked Ulster Way path to the summit. This is a bit
of a peaty slog to be honest, and would never class as a favourite walk,
although the view from the summit is nice when it is clear, as it was on this
occasion.
It was six QSOs for me on 12m, three each on CW and SSB. A S2S with Steve
G1INK/P on Birks Fell G/NP-031 was the
highlight. On 2m FM, Jimmy recorded five contacts. It was now a case of getting
back down to Larne to collect Marianne's dad in order to take him to our holiday
apartment in Ballygalley for Marianne's scrummy Sunday dinner. Another good day.
