Corndon Hill 2018

 

Finally on Tuesday 20th February 2018, it was over the border into Wales, and Corndon Hill GW/MW-013.

The trekking poles were utilised for the first time in the day as I anticipated the steep slog up Corndon.

The views were magnificent from the summit, and it was a visually beautiful afternoon.  Annoyingly, I had left my phone in the car, so was unable to take summit photos!

Two QSOs on C4FM meant that I had made Fusion contacts from every one of the five summits on the day. These were joined by four QSOs on 2m analogue FM.

I was back at the car around 5pm, and in perfect time to get up the A483 and M53 to Birkenhead for that night’s top-of-the-table football fixture with Tranmere Rovers hosting my team, Macclesfield Town. It was a brilliant match, with Macc running out 4-1 winners to extend the lead in the race for the title.  So an excellent end to a largely good day, that had started off rather unfortunately.
