With Long Mynd-Pole Bank G/WB-005 successfully activated on Saturday 10th March 2012, there now followed a short drive down to Bridges, not without more "excitement" of more "death plunges" lurking at the side of the narrow lane.  Even so, this was now the least scary of the three roads that lead onto the top of the Mynd. From Bridges, it was only a few minutes driving to the Stiperstones NNR car park ready for our ascent of G/WB-003.

   

This hill was very busy, with walkers all over every part of it. Jimmy set up right under the trig point, utilising the body of rock on which it perches, as effective shelter from the light wind. Liam also grabbed a spot close by, while I set up a little further along.

       

Jimmy's 11 minutes of operating brought 4 QSOs. 12 minutes on 40m CW delivered 19 QSOs for me. And back down we went. Back at the car just after 4pm, we had made it and left enough time to do the 5th activation of the day - and make Jimmy a Mountain Goat! So we consumed our Mars Bars to hopefully deposit some energy to see us through.  Onwards, over the border into Wales, to Corndon Hill GW/MW-013, and glory!
