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.
