G/LD-056 Whitbarrow – Lord’s Seat

 19/05/2019

SOTA Weekend in the Lake District – Day 2 – Second summit.

We found the parking spot for Top o’Selside easily and headed for the summit of G/LD-056.

It was a nice walk up in the sunshine but there was a cold breeze on top.

My GPS track

Getting ready

Well defined track

Plenty of space on top

There were no takers on 2m so I spotted for 60m and within a few minutes I qualified easily including 3 s2s with Rod, Esther and Ian.

Good run on 60m to qualify
