Today’s SOTA-Silkmen combo.  Good day for it.  Some of the paths on the fells were still suffering much standing water, but fortunately not the pitch in Ellesmere Port which passed the afternoon pitch inspection.

Climbing towards the plateau and mast        Two Lads

All three summits qualified on 2m FM with the Yaesu FT70D handheld.  Final score in the football:  Vauxhall Motors 0, Macclesfield 6!
