Bishop Wilton Wold, G/TW-004 - 246m ASL - SE 821 569 - OS Explorer 294 - 1 SOTA point Saturday 16th July 2022 - Normanby Top G/TW-005, Bishop Wilton Wold G/TW-004 & gig: Simon Faulkner Band @ Sledmere House, Driffield
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!
