Trichrug, GW/SW-022 - 415m ASL - SN 699 229 - OS Explorer OL12 - 1 SOTA point            

SOTA road trip, Day 3 - Monday 3rd August 2020

From Mynydd Cynros GW/MW-034, it was a short drive over the valley, via Llandeilo, in a south-westerly direction for the next hill.  From the public roads to the south of the hill, a drivable byway leads up to a parking area, just below the summit ridge.  From here it is a fairly easy 15 minute walk to the summit, albeit still with some steep grassy slopes to negotiate.

As I had noted things slowing down on CW on the previous activation, I followed my policy of starting with FT8 on this one.  This lead to a rather exciting start to the activation, with two USA contacts and one into Kuwait coming in the first three QSOs!  Croatia and Belarus were added to these, before I made a rare call (for this trip) on the 2m FM handheld, logging a further two local stations in the process.

The descent to the car was very rapid, and I got off on my way to Mynydd y Betws GW/SW-028.
