After Moel Famau GW/NW-044, I had time (or so I thought) to squeeze Penycloddiau GW/NW-054 in as well, so that was the next stop. Conditions seemed slightly better now with 10 QSOs on 20m CW including NA and EA8, and a couple on 2m FM, including S2S with John GW0MHF/P on Moel Famau GW/NW-044. I had met John ascending as I was descending Moel Famau earlier.
Back at the car, and to the main business of the day - meeting at the Passport Office in Liverpool to sort out mine - which I had put through a wash cycle while on holiday in Tenerife the previous week. I had an hour and a half to the meeting, but it was only an hour's drive from where I was, so no problem - just put the SatNav on Google Maps on my phone, and off we go. Disaster! Phone was dead. Out of charge, and refusing to accept any new charge. That half-an-hour slack time was now looking wholly inadequate with having to find my way back to the main roads and then to the right part of Liverpool, plus parking etc. Anyway, as it turned out, I made it bang on the minute of my appointment, after some frantic asking of pedestrians for directions and the appalling spectacle of a 20 stone bearded man sprinting along Old Hall Street in Liverpool city centre. I needed it though, as I have some gigs out of the country in a few weeks. Thankfully, the new one arrived shortly afterwards.
