Moel Famau 2019

 

Wednesday 20th February 2019 - Moel Gyw GW/NW-053, Foel Fenlli GW/NW-051, Moel Famau GW/NW-044, Penycloddiau GW/NW-054, Mynydd y Cwm GW/NW-076 & Hope Mountain GW/NW-062

Sometimes after Foel Fenlli GW/NW-051, I get into the car for a sit down for five minutes, but on this occasion I walked straight past it and onto the wide track up to Moel Famau’s summit.  Plenty of people were out, of all ages, including a large number of club runners, again of all ages.

At the summit, the wind had really started to pick up.  Nonetheless, I stood atop Jubilee Tower to operate, using my head to shelter the microphone as best I could.  I operated for six minutes, recording nine QSOs.

The return was a great brisk walk and a really enjoyable stretch of the legs, with good views out west.  Chasers in Cumbria, Lancashire and Cheshire were all reporting biblical rain, but it was staying dry in the Clwydians, exactly as forecast.  The satnav now delivered me to the little car park for Penycloddiau with pinpoint accuracy.
