This was our second walk on Thursday 29th May 2008.  Of course, from Wilmington Hill G/SE-011, we could have walked west along the South Downs Way to reach Firle Beacon G/SE-010 - but we wanted to pack more summits in the day! So back to the car it was, and a straightforward route back along the A27 then south up through Firle village to the car park at the end of the road. Plenty of walkers were using this car park, although the day was getting colder and damper.

   

The walk, eastwards along the South Downs Way, was easy. The distance was about 2km, and the height gain only about 40m, so we knocked that off in little more than twenty minutes. The activation by the trig point was also a simple uncomplicated affair, and still we found rumours of the "VHF Void of the South" to be exaggerated. Nine contacts came through at a steady trickle, and we were back at the car by 4pm.

       

We still had a masterplan to activate four summits today, despite the fact that it was nearly teatime and we would have to do two more. So the JimNav was pressed into action once more to plot our course to Cliffe Hill G/SE-014.  Many thanks to the following stations, all worked on 2m FM with 5 watts:
