Saturday 17th November 2018 - Worcestershire Beacon G/WB-009, Bredon Hill G/CE-003 & Cleeve Hill G/CE-001

No gig - day off

Unfortunately the satnav was in for repair and it was back to the old days of using Google Maps on my phone.  It took a bit of getting used to again, but ultimately, it successfully delivered me to the top of the lane out of Kemerton, and the parking spots on the shoulder of Bredon Hill G/CE-003

The walk up through a small wood and several fields with a very gentle gradient, was very pleasant, and I had forgotten just how spectacular the Iron Age Hill fort up there was.  The 2m handheld again was sufficient for an easy and rapid qualification on 2m FM, with Stu G0LGS and Matt 2E0MDJ both worked again in Fusion mode.  As I descended, I realised that the price of my lie-in that morning, would be that I’d only have time left for one more activation that day.  I reset the Google Nav for Cleeve Common - for Cleeve Hill G/CE-001 - and set off.
