Mynydd-y-briw 2020

 

Sunday 1sth March 2020 - Brown Clee Hill G/WB-002, Titterstone Clee Hill G/WB-004, View Edge G/WB-018, Long Mynd-Pole Bank G/WB-005, Stiperstones G/WB-003, Corndon Hill GW/MW-013, Mynydd-y-briw GW/NW-060, Gyrn Moelfre GW/NW-049, Hope Mountain GW/NW-062, The Cloud G/SP-015 & Gun G/SP-013

A bit more of a drive from Corndon Hill GW/MW-013, maybe about half-an-hour or so, brought me to the foot of the transmitter mast access road at Briw.  The walk to the top is short, but steep.  I self-spotted from the car before setting off, hoping it would result in sufficient chasers ready to work me once I was on summit ten minutes later.  The take-off is not the best, and so handheld-only operation can be "chancing it" somewhat.

I got my C4FM DV multiplier easily enough, but it was a little more challenging to reach the requisite four QSOs in order to qualify the activation.  It did come though, nine minutes into the activation, courtesy of G6NJR.  That was activation #6 of the day completed, so I walked back down the hill and got in my car to drive to the next one - Gyrn Moelfre GW/NW-049.
