‘Happy New Year’ activation

I usually do this one first anyway but this year would be different as I was going out on the first day of the year. Not only that I was taking a different approach to avoid the boggy bits on the West approach. Starting at the car park by the Tafarn Sinc... (SN 075 296)…lovely route with only the final kick up to the summit being steep. 

My GPS track

Not many cars this morning

Heading up...straight across the road at the top

Through gate and straight up aiming for the other path

Easy navigation now

Misty today


Final 'kick up' to summit

Summit in sight

Kept away slightly from the trigpoint

The office

Fantastic activation with loads of fellow activators and chasers joining in the fun…thanks everyone.
