My phone app wanted to take me back down the rough road from the Titterstone Clee car park after that first summit on Saturday 13th February 2016, but I overruled it and drove down the main access road to the A4117. The Google Maps thingy soon went into redirection and worked out what was going on. After some deliberation, I has decided to use the Shropshire Way approach from Abdon, rather than going up from the picnic area or the transmitter access road.

I positioned my car close by the yellow grit box on the side of the track just before the gate, where the Shropshire Way ascends. Despite having ascended this way several times in the past, the route still managed to tease me with several false summits. Well, not that much, as I could see the hill towering over me over to my left!

Eventually I reached the left turning, which then required a slightly tricky walk over very damp and boggy ground to the main summit area. I took a few photos at the summit, then established where my best sheltered position was going to be. Fortunately, a large heathery bank dropped from the topograph to a lower path - and also backed right into the direction of the wind.

Despite the strong wind, I had no problems erecting the 10m-6m GP antenna all day - even on exposed tops. I found the 10m band in similar shape to how it was from Titterstone Clee Hill G/WB-004 earlier on this Saturday 13th February 2016. Only thing was that this time I needed the activity to be able to hear me, as I just couldn't get a data connection on my phone.

Two Russian stations answered my CQ calls on 28.015MHz CW to secure the multiplier. I then answered a SSB CQ from A61SM in the United Arab Emirates and got into his log first time, quickly followed by TA1BX in Turkey. Back running on 10m CW, I worked another Russian and a Ukrainian.  For the first, but certainly not the last time of the day, I was approached by other walkers intrigued as to what I was doing.

G/WB-002 - 6 QSOs - 4 on 10m CW, 2 on 10m SSB.  Next on the agenda was Long Mynd-Pole Bank G/WB-005.
