This summit was activated on Saturday 29th May 2004, by myself, accompanied
by Jimmy and Liam. We drove across via the M56 and A55, taking in
breakfast at a McDonalds on the A55. The roads were fine, but later on
they were gridlocked, so good job we were out early! We took the A470 to
Llandudno from the A55, then taking the steeply inclined lanes to the summit
complex car park. Parking was £2 for 4 hours.
I set up station a
little to the other side of the trig point from the transmitter masts, and this
lessened (but didn't cure) the problems with breakthrough. The activation
was very enjoyable with 26 contacts made, and a welcome visit from Jenny MW0BET
and Roger MW0IDX with whom we enjoyed a drink and a chat on the bar terrace
after packing up.
