Wales Road Trip Day 3

Short walk up to the summit        Summit trig

A short easy walk from the roadside parking spot - though it felt tougher to me as I was feeling very tired.

An unflattering photo of me!        Liam at 'The Roundabout'

Liam raced ahead and was at the summit long before me!  Used the Alexloop on this one and mainly operated on 20m, SSB and FT4.

Short drive back to the Llanelwedd Hotel, Builth Wells where we again enjoyed the fantastic Thai food.

A short walk across the bridge over the River Wye (sounds like a film!) took us to the Fountain Inn where there was an Open Mic night. Liam and I did a spot - our song choices were Dance The Night Away, Let’s Dance and I’m In Love With The Girl On The Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk.  Thanks to Adrian and Callum for joining us on stage.

We planned to commence our final (homeward bound) day with Plynlimon GW/MW-001.
