Bishop Wilton Wold 2017

 

Just a handheld activation for this one        Hardly the most inspiring of "summits"!        Eagerly anticipating the big game the next day

Saturday 20th May 2017. Gig in Skidby, near Hull. Slight detour to approach via the A166. And that means a SOTA activation of the ever delightful Bishop Wilton Wold G/TW-004. Parked in layby beside water board compound containing trig point. Walked 30 yards onto grass verge with VX7R handheld and called on 2m FM. Managed to get four contacts within quarter of an hour or so. Onwards to the Millhouse at Skidby for the gig with Motown Gold. That is all.  Enjoy the photos!

The "stage" of the gig venue had a stunning backdrop...        On the coach to Wembley

After getting back home at nearly 4am from my gig, I had to be up again before 8am in order to catch the coach to Wembley for the FA Trophy Final, featuring my team - Macclesfield Town - playing against York City in our national stadium.  Unfortunately we lost 2-3, but it was a good day out nonetheless.

Enjoying the match        Jubilation as Macclesfield equalise!
