Turner Cleuch Law SS-140

Turner Cleuch Law, GM/SS-140 - 551m ASL - NT 287 204 - OS Explorer 330 / 337 - 2 SOTA points

Tuesday 6th September 2022 - Turner Cleuch Law GM/SS-140 & Cacra Hill GM/SS-179

Postponed from the previous day's plans, we started the day by driving the short 2.5 miles NW to the same parking spot we'd used 24 hours ago. It was a misty morning as we began to climb the steep path contouring around the hill.

The summit was easily reached after 15 or 20 minutes, and I conceded to Jimmy that we probably could have managed this summit after the exertions of The Wiss GM/SS-122 yesterday.

I used the 20m groundplane antenna and worked on that band using CW and SSB. Jimmy MM0HGY/P concentrated on 2m FM, and we both qualified on our preferred bands. Eight S2S was a pleasing return, and perhaps slightly surprising for a midweek morning.

The weather was closing in for the afternoon, and I was still feeling pretty tired, so we next drove back down to the Tushielaw Inn for an afternoon of relaxation. The forecast looked much better for early evening, so we aimed then to visit Cacra Hill GM/SS-179 - the hill that the bar of the inn looks out onto and very close!
