Mount Hill, GM/SS-277 - 221m ASL - NO 330 164 - OS Explorer 370 - 1 SOTA point            

Thursday 27th June 2022 - Largo Law GM/SS-259, Mount Hill GM/SS-277, Norman's Law GM/SS-262 & Cairnie Hill GM/SS-275

The village of Cupar would be passed through after driving away from the previous summit, and we arranged to meet Andy GM6ZAK for a quick coffee in the Baynes bakery there.  Jimmy and I also took breakfast here, which included “Fathers Day pies” - Scotch pies, but with a slice of black pudding and baked beans in place of the pastry lid!

       

The monument on Mount Hill could be seen throughout much of the ascent, but frustratingly never seemed to get any nearer!  The farmland became woodland/forestry, and the fences became taller indicating the presence of deer.

   

As we set up on summit, we got caught by a heavy rain shower.  Thankfully, and as indicated by the forecast, it would be the only one of the day.  We operated in our bothy bags - although initially this was to escape the swarms of flies!  I made 13 QSOs on 20m, split almost equally between CW and SSB.  Jimmy got five for another comfortable 2m FM qualification.

       

The next hill was Norman’s Law GM/SS-262.
