Easington Fell 2020

 

Monday 1st June 2020 - Lambrigg Fell G/LD-046, Hutton Roof Crags G/LD-052, Arnside Knott G/LD-058, Longridge Fell G/SP-014 & Easington Fell G/SP-012

After Longridge Fell G/SP-014, just one final summit of the day to negotiate.  I've often found "teatime" to be a good time of day in Sporadic E season, so I opted to operate on 6m again.  So the rucksack didn't need repacking from that last summit.  The usual route needed changing though, as cattle were all across the usual main path, and I've known these to be edgy in the past.  I therefore remained on the rougher path on the left of the wall from the parking spot.

There was still activity around on 6m, but not as intense as earlier.  That was perfect actually, as it was getting quite late and I still had a long drive home to face at the end of a long day.  A shorter time operating on summit was therefore not a problem.  Nonetheless, a pleasing eleven QSOs made across a variety of three modes.
