After Wills Neck G/SC-002, we grabbed some supper then found a pub that was showing the England v Belgium World Cup match. In hindsight, I wished I'd not bothered. The game was a "dead rubber" anyway with both England and Belgium having already secured qualification to the knockout stages - plus Belgium won 1-0 in a less-than-spectacular encounter. Also Jimmy and I were both very tired, so delaying everything a further couple of hours was probably suboptimal.
So the final summit of our epic summer SOTA tour of 17 summits, 19 activations, 3 associations and 5 regions, was Dundry Down G/SC-010 on the evening of Thursday 28th June 2018. We parked near Dundry church in the village and walked up the access track to the radio masts near the summit. Our usual MO and wkg cndx did the trick for both of us, and we could finally get off home to Macclesfield.
The drive home via the M5 and M6 was a lengthy affair. I was ridiculously tired and kept having to pull in for a snooze. These could be anything from 15 minutes to an hour and a half in length, and we eventually arrived home in Macclesfield around 6.30am! Jimmy M0HGY was so laid back and supportive though, and was a brilliant companion for the journey, as he had been throughout the week on the hills, ferries, restaurants etc.
