After Stiperstones G/WB-003 on
Saturday 16th November 2013, I made the short drive to Heath Mynd G/WB-007.
Well, a theoretically short drive, for I managed to take a couple of wrong
turnings up long narrow twisty Shropshire lanes!
Eventually, I did find the usual parking spot just beyond a gate on the narrow
lane. The initial track was very muddy, but I noticed a well trodden line on the
grass to the right. I switched to that until reaching a sort of saddle at the
corner of the field.
Here I turned right to follow the fence uphill to a further saddle, by a group
of young bullocks. Turning right again had me climbing the ridge line to a
summit I had only visited twice before. Activating on 12m CW was now a breeze as
propagation had opened up to North America. A good job too, as I was having
problems with my phone and couldnt self-spot! Eleven QSOs made, all 12m CW.
My flask of Moroccan chick pea soup was taken now for lunch, but I can't say I
was impressed. This is one flavour I will not be buying again! After descent, I
made the short drive over to Corndon Hill GW/MW-013.
