Moel y Gamelin and Cyrn-y-Brain
A favourite walking day for this walking man
Begins with a slog up Moel y Faen
Keeping up with G3CWI as quick as I can

       

VK was the first response on 12 meter
Jimmy has a flask of sweet tea - half a litre
On 2m he works M1CNL - Peter
Richard keeps warm with his charcoal heater

       

After 15 QSOs I descend for me dinner
Steak pie at Ponderosa won't make me thinner
Very busy as usual "Not much room at the inner"
A great feed as always, must be a winner

       

Activation two, a walk up the track
Done it many times, still I come back
Belly full, no need for a snack
But sweet tea was taken when energy I lack

       

USA dominates as propagation turns west
As signals go, N4EX is best
North America accounts for much of the rest
But damp ground and wet trousers is a bit of a pest

       

The Ponderosa Pair, therein lies the rub
Two activations separated by the finest of grub
As SOTA days go, there is no sub
And as ever we conclude with a pint in the pub
