Long Mountain - Beacon Ring, GW/MW-026 - 408m ASL - SJ 264 058 - OS Explorer 216 - 1 SOTA point         

Tuesday 19th April 2022 - The Cloud G/SP-015, Long Mountain-Beacon Ring GW/MW-026 & Beacon Hill GW/MW-009

It wasn't far off lunchtime when we set off from home in Macclesfield, so as soon as we were over the border into Wales, we sought a lunch opportunity.  Mega burgers at Pantry Cafe in Llanymynech fir the bill perfectly!

We then drove up onto Long Mountain for a very short and easy walk to the Beacon Ring trig point.  Operation was just on the 2m handheld, and five contacts were made, including a summit-to-summit over to Gun G/SP-013 in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

From Beacon Ring, we then drove down to Beacon Hill GW/MW-009 as we made our way deeper into Powys.
