Our next stop of our multi-summit day on Sunday 1st October 2006 was on the road along the ridge of Long Mountain and the very short flat walk to Beacon Ring GW/MW-026, a higher top than the earlier Moel y Golfa GW/MW-027, but nothing like the level of effort or satisfaction. We set up on the East facing ramparts of the fort, and suffered a sharp rain shower. This time we set up properly with FT-817 and SOTA Beam, but found contacts harder to come by than earlier. We broke into the magnificent Baxters Cullen Skink - "Luxury
