SOTA road trip, Day 1 - Saturday 1st August 2020

After Allt y Main GW/NW-059, it was a short drive across to Welshpool Golf Club.  The club was quite busy, with golfers starting and completing their rounds, and plenty out on the course.    I set off in the general direction of the trig point, trying to determine the difference between the golf buggy tracks and the route of the public right of way, which isn't always obvious!

Summit of Y Golfa        Tom on Y Golfa

It was shirt sleeve order on this warm August Saturday morning.  I was still in the frame of mind to qualify the activation on 17m and move on to the next summit, so again I selected CW as my operating mode.  Seven QSOs in nine minutes went into the logbook, and I returned to my car.  Next it was off to Stingwern Hill GW/MW-030.
