The second objective on Wednesday 7th August 2013 was Arnside Knott G/LD-058. From Lambrigg Fell G/LD-046, I drove to the next junction south on the M6, and then made my way to Arnside via Milnthorpe.  Arnside Knott is well signposted from the seaside front at Arnside. There seemed to be plenty of National Trust warden activity in the car park when I arrived. I exited the car park through the far gate in order to take a longer and slightly less steep approach to the summit.

       

It was already a hot day and I positioned the 12m groundplane antenna in order to allow me to sit in the shade of a tree. Soon one of the NT wardens was approaching me, but he was just genuinely interest, and we had a nice chat. He said that he had met several SOTA activators up here before.

       

Again it was a nice 12m activation, with contacts made on SSB, CW and PSK31. The descent was simple and quick, and there was now two summits activated, and still mid-morning. So far so good. But next was Hutton Roof Crags G/LD-052, and the start of the problems!
