Saturday 16th July 2022 - Normanby Top G/TW-005, Bishop Wilton Wold G/TW-004 & gig:  Simon Faulkner Band @ Sledmere House, Driffield

Humber Bridge        River Humber

After Normanby Top G/TW-005, we drove north and over the Humber Bridge.  Continuing north uphill onto the Yorkshire Wolds, and the highest point - Bishop Wilton Wold.

Not fancying another activation on the litter-strewn grass verge beside the A166 lay-by, we wandered down the road to a public footpath entrance.  A few yards walk into the public right of way offered a much more pleasant operating space.

Time was marching on so I just made sure I got my four QSOs on 20m CW.

Then the gig - Simon Faulkner Band - seven piece with horns - and the amazing Simon Moore on drums - I adore playing with this guy! The ale is good (Jorvik Blonde), the pizza was cooking - and so was the band!

Fresh pizza!        Stage set
