Mynydd Llangyndeyrn 2013

 

Road Trip - Day 3 - Monday 18th February 2013 (part 2)

This was our second of three summit activations on Monday 18th February 2013.

At the start of the path    Liam at the summit

From Brandy Hill GW/MW-037, we returned to the A477, then took the A40 to Carmarthen. A short spell on the A484, followed by an even shorter one on the B4309 took us onto the B4306. At the top of the road, we pulled into the wide area at the start of a farm track. There is plenty of parking space here, but I have heard that the farm up the track doesn't appreciate motors going any further up that track!

I had been telling Liam about the naughty horse, attached to a stake in the field by a very long tether the last time I was here. Sadly, there was no sign of the horse, all that remained was the stake. Sounds rather familiar at the current time, does it not?

Tom listening to CW on 40m    Pleasant view from the operating position   

This is a very quick 5 minute walk, curling around an easy grassy route to the summit of Mynydd Llangyndeyrn GW/SW-039. Again, wind was a problem, but not after we dropped a few feet to a nice little spot sheltered by rocks. 40m CW was the business again, and 23 QSOs went into the logbook in an 11 minute operating period.  Two "QRZ?" calls brought nothing further, so we quickly packed up to squeeze in a third activation of the afternoon, and a fifth of the road trip.  It was only a short drive to Mynydd Sylen GW/SW-036.
