Having got the harder climb of  out of the way first on Saturday 7th March 2009, it was a bit of a breeze ascending Cyrn-y-Brain GW/NW-043 after lunch. I even dispensed with my poles for a hands-in-pockets amble for once, but Jimmy would still not be parted from his.

We each stuck to the same band/mode combinations and working conditions as we had done earlier on Moel y Gamelin GW/NW-042, and all found that conditions had changed and worked respectively less contacts. We all comfortably qualified though. The wind got colder, and some rain was on its way, so Richard commenced his descent while I was wrapping things up on 20m CW. After packing away, Jimmy and I shared the flask of hot chocolate on summit, and then commenced our own descent. We stuck to a swift pace, also trying to beat the incoming rain to the Ponderosa - which we did, by seconds!

       

The drive home was punctuated by Thwaites Lancaster Bomber at the Moors Inn. However, we had made decent time all day, and Richard was dropping us off at home before 4.45pm. A good day, and another ten points towards Jimmy's MG campaign.

Many thanks to all stations that called and/or spotted, and to Richard for the invitation and driving.
