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

A 4.35am start out from Macclesfield was early enough to make a very ambitious plan actually possible.

First target was Tal y Fan, near Conwy, which was climbed and activated on 2m FM with the handheld.
