Gig:  Simon Faulkner Band

Venue:  Bistro Live!, Nottingham

It was a late start (by my standards), leaving the jockeys’ lodge at Doncaster Racecourse around 10am. I experimented with the satnav to determine the optimum order of summits for the day.

Bishop Wilton Wold proved to be trivial, with qualification achieved beside the layby on the A166. Four 2m FM QSOs on the handheld, and more compliments on the signal strengths and audio quality coming from the FT70D.  Getting this activation point out of the way swiftly afforded me the time to try a new route for Normanby Top G/TW-005.
