Caer Caradoc Hill 2019

 

Thursday 13th June 2019 - Caer Caradoc G/WB-006 Gig: Joe Longthorne Venue: Garrick Theatre, Lichfield

I fancied Caer Caradoc.  No idea why. It was a fair drive from the digs in West Bromwich, but still possibly the closest as-yet unactivated summit in 2019.  It was hammering it down with rain but I went anyway.  The initial climb up a narrow steep valley was more cascading waterfall than footpath.  I made the top in good time, and, inexplicably, enjoyed it. 

Very soggy descent route  Descending Caer Caradoc  Caer Caradoc  Tom M1EYP

Five QSOs on 2m FM with the handle.  Then a tricky descent back down the waterfall!  Went to the pub opposite the theatre for dinner with the band.
