After finishing with Chanctonbury Ring G/SE-009
on Friday 30th May 2008, the JimNav directed me along the A283
through Pulborough and Petworth. Then it was onto country lanes through
Lurgashall, and to the National Trust car park on the north of the site at
SU920307. We walked south down the forest track to meet the bridleway, which we followed
to the vicinity of SU920296. Here, we turned right to follow trodden tracks into
the area where the trig point was expected to be. It didn't take long to find
it, but it was obvious that it would take a very long time to qualify this hill
on 2m FM! A couple of calls on S20, together with a scan across the silent band,
was all it took before we were busily setting up for 80m. As usual, it was me on 3.557MHz CW, followed by Jimmy on 3.660MHz SSB. We shared a comfortable flat surface on a tree stump as a chair, while Liam lounged in the grass nearby. As usual, Liam began to make his way back to the car once he spotted Jimmy and I starting to pack away. We reached the car and quietly congratulated each other on another G SOTA region completion. And then began to feel a little excited anticipation. We had completed a major objective, and had a day and a half left to play. We could get stuck into the SC region, a brand new one for us. We set off promptly for Win Green G/SC-008. Thanks to the following stations, all worked on 80m with 5 watts:
