Saturday 26th February 2022 - Tal y Fan GW/NW-040, Great Orme GW/NW-070, Mynydd y Cwm GW/NW-076 & Runcorn Town v Macclesfield

Problems encountered on the final ascent with many felled trees after the recent Storm Alwen, and all usual paths to the summit blocked.

Fallen trees!        Aeroplane wreckage and memorial at summit

Managed to painstakingly pick a way through, and eventually got there despite the disorienting nature of the scene!

Tom MW1EYP/P        Arrival at Runcorn Town FC

Eight contacts made on 2m FM, including four S2S.  Thankfully, GW Association Manager Roger MW0IDX was able to advise a better way down from the summit and back to the road.

Runcorn Town FC        Runcorn Town v Macclesfield

Onto Runcorn Town v Macclesfield, and indeed made it there even in time for a drink before kick-off.  A 1-0 win for Macclesfield on a terrible pitch, arguably the worst I have seen in semi-professional football.

...if you insist!        Game underway on a terrible pitch
