This summit was activated on Saturday 3rd January 2004: Jimmy and myself headed up to the A635 out of Mossley, while Liam and Marianne opted for Congleton Safeway. This time, we parked in the lay-by by the new Pennine Way route to the summit, and enjoyed the easy paved walk in. It was a bleak cold winter's day, but there were still plenty of walkers out. As we reached the trig point, who should be there but Dick M3EIQ/P just completing his own activation. It turned out that he didn't make the four contacts the previous day, and so was out again to claim the five points. In a fine gesture of comradeship, Dick elected to stick around while we activated and even reset up his shelter. We reciprocated with a cupful of our mulligatawny soup from the flask and set about activating. Keith G0OXV and Stuart G0MJG were first up, before a summit-to-summit with Roger MW0IDX/P on Moel Siabod GW/NW-010. G4UHQ qualified the activation for us, before we all walked back to our cars together. Thanks to the following stations worked, all on 2m FM with 1 watt for the first two contacts, then 2.5 watts for the other two:
