We parked in between them in a roadside parking place at SO 421 945 for the shortest easiest walk of all - about 10 (leisurely) minutes!

The trig point here was at ground level, and I worked G3RDC, M3FRJ, G4OYX and his son M3XTL. I recognised Dave's (G4OYX) callsign immediately as that of the verie-signer on QSLs I had received over the years from radio stations like Sunshine 855, Telford Community Radio, Showtime Radio etc on FM & MW broadcast bands.

Thanks to the following stations, all worked on 2m FM with 2.5 watts:
