Friday 23rd February 2018 - North-East Wales

This was the third and final summit of the day.  My satnav didn’t land me anywhere near to the summit or adjacent farm, but at least in some roads I recognised, so I was able to find my way easily enough. I drove into the farmyard and waited for one of the inhabitants to notice me and come and ask what I was up to.

David wandered across after seeing to his milk herd, and thankfully recognised me.  Permission to access the trig point (in a private field) was granted immediately, and he even suggested that I drive up to it across the fields!  I declined this for several obvious reasons, but took him up on his invitation to park in one of his fields. I now had a fairly easy five minute ascent on foot - apart from the bit where I need to roll under an electric fence.

Seven stations were worked from the summit - six on 2m FM and one on 2m C4FM. My hands were numb from cold by the end of operating though!
