Friday 28th December 2018 - Gaulfest - Pegwn Mawr GW/MW-006 & Beacon Hill GW/MW-009
After Pegwn Mawr GW/MW-006, we moved across to Beacon Hill GW/MW-009. This was a very satisfying walk. About 40 minutes, so more of a stretch of the legs than the earlier hill, but easy along a clear and very gentle path. A little boggy in places.
This time I just went straight on the handheld and had qualified before Jimmy had got the MFD up! He too qualified easily. I made six contacts - 5 on 2m FM and one on 70cm C4FM. Jimmy made five QSOs - 4 on 2m FM and one on 70cm C4FM. We both worked Jordan M3TMX/P, who was still on The Wrekin G/WB-010.
Finally we drove for an hour over to Church Stretton and Mr Bun the Baker, for coffee and bread pudding in the company of Jordan M3TMX, Paul M0PLA and Jamie M6SZF. This was very enjoyable, and a brilliant end to a brilliant day.
Well, not quite the end. Jimmy and I grabbed a pint at the Three Fishes at Bayston Hill, and a ruby at Zest, Arclid near Sandbach. Gaulfest is back!
