Lambrigg Fell, G/LD-046 - 338m ASL - SD 586 943 - OS Explorer OL7 - 1 SOTA point
With the calendar clicking over into the new month, so the SOTA 2020 "Flavours" Challenge became live once again. This time it was focused on the 12m, 10m and 6m bands, with all modes valid. I decided I would take a run out up the M6 and boost the multiplier count by activating five fairly easy summits.
First up was Lambrigg Fell. I parked in the wide road entrance to Roan Edge Quarry, just off J37 of the M6. Usual easy walk of about 25 minutes along a trodden trail through rough grass, with a short bit of ascent towards the end. I set up the groundplane and kicked off on 12m CW. Ten contacts made without fuss. It's always tempting to linger and "play radio", but with a planned five-summit-day, that wouldn't really be viable. So I packed up, descended and drove down to Hutton Roof Crags G/LD-052.
