This summit was activated by myself, accompanied by Jimmy on Tuesday 27th July 2004.    

From our holiday location in Shaldon in Devon, we made an early start driving out through Teignmouth and towards Exeter.  We picked up the M5 from its start until the exit for Cullompton.  We picked up some breakfast in this village and continued via Bradninch and out on narrow windy minor lanes to Christ Cross.

A plaque displaying a symbol, and "Christ Cross" was on display at the junction at SS 966 051, and this spot is indeed well within the qualifying activation area.  We pulled the car onto some grass adjacent to the road and walked down the track to the transmitter mast which is located on the true summit, about 220m from the road, and approximately 2m higher.  The OS 1:25000 map indicates a trig marker, but try as we might, we couldn't find it.  If it does exist, it is entirely engulfed by thick undergrowth, nettles and gorse.  We set up on some grass on the other side of the track from the mast.

We soon found out how fortunate we are in the North-West for 2m activity, with only one station worked from calling CQ on S20.  The following two were invited to QSY from a repeater, with a fourth station having joined the frequency.  Little was I too know that things were going to get a lot worse than this, but I did at least add the 40m dipole to my rucksack for the following day's activation of Kit Hill G/DC-003!

Thanks to the following stations, all worked on 2m FM using 2.5 watts:
