GW/SW-009 Mynydd Troed

Second of the day with MW0IML/p

No coffee or something to eat between summits today as the cars were not in the usual parking spot so we headed straight for our second summit of the day.

Heading up to the summit

Mynydd Llangorse on the left...snow drifts still remaing along the hedge lines.

By now it was getting late in the afternoon and as we reached the top of Troed a cold biting wind greeted us by the trig.  We quickly agreed to set up my 7m fishing pole and work 60m together. 

The pile up was short and sweet…I opted out after 5 contacts letting Barry to work the rest…thanks everyone.
