Friday 17th February 2012 - Day 3 (continued)

The next objective was Buttington Bridge near Welshpool, so that meant another rendezvous with the Offa's Dyke Path was in order - this time at Long Mountain-Beacon Ring GW/MW-026. We parked in a lay-by on the top road and walked up the access track to the transmitter site. We then climb up the earthwork of the Iron Age hillfort and into the wooded area within the Beacon Ring.

I found a bit close to the trig point with slightly lower tree density and set up the 40m dipole. Support from chasers was excellent again and 20 contacts were made. Unsurprisingly, nothing again on 2m FM, even though I emerged from the wood and stood atop the earthwork bank before calling.
