After completing Black Down G/SE-003 on Friday 30th May 2008, we set off for Win Green G/SC-008. This was a long drive, navigated by following signs, successively, for Petersfield, Winchester and Salisbury.  Several new and interesting radio stations were logged on the journey. These were 95.5 BBC Somerset, 90.1 Hope FM (Bournemouth), 92.3 Forest FM (Verwood), 97.4 Vale FM (Shaftesbury), 101.0 Kiss 101 (Bristol and 107.5 3TR FM (Frome).

   

Once we were beyond Salisbury on the A354 at Sixpenny Handley, the JimNav cried out for a right turn on the B3081. "Oh, we're approaching it from below are we?" I asked, a little disoriented. "Yes" replied Jimmy, with an air of confident assurance. A right turn onto a minor cul-de-sac lane, and we were driving up to the car park, along a very uneven surface.  The parking area, like for most of the G/SE summits before, was very busy. Lots of people were here to take the very short stroll to the trig point and wood on the summit of this hill. It really was a very short walk, of about 200 metres, and hardly any ascent involved. The summit was very busy, so I hoped to be able to activate using only 2m FM. And my wish was granted, with plenty enough stations being available on the band.

   

After my 600th SOTA activation six days earlier on Leith Hill G/SE-002, this chalked up Jimmy's 200th SOTA activation. And without a trace of wilting enthusiasm.  Hence we were not around for long on this one, soon walking back to the car with thoughts of an evening stroll on Swyre Head G/SC-012 later, and a second consecutive four-activation day. First, we drove into Shaftesbury, via a spectacular descent down Zig-Zag Hill (ST892208) to look for food. The only opportunity found was a kebab house, which we decided would be OK and nice for a change.

       

Jimmy had a large donner, Liam had a chicken kebab, while I had a mixed kebab (donner, chicken and kofte). We all agreed they were delicious! Before driving off again, I made a call to Swanage Youth Hostel. Same old story - full. The next one to try was Lulworth Cove Youth Hostel, and this time we got in. This was great - our beds for the night were secured, and we could go ahead with our evening stroll/activation aspiration with a degree of relaxation - or so we thought.  Many thanks to the following stations, all worked on 2m FM with 5 watts:
