G/LD-051 - Holme Fell
30/04/2018
Second of the day
We parked in The National Trust Car Park at SD321998 and walked a few 100m West on the main road turning
right into the farm entrance to follow
the track up through Harry Guards Wood…. a steady climb of some 1.93km.

I opened the activation on 2m with two s2s followed by an FM
and DV contact with Geoff who had gone mobile to get me. To qualify the summit I
turned my attention to 60m after a spot came up for Rod on South Lee GM/SI-163…thanks
Rod. A good run of chasers followed before I moved
back to 2m.
