GW/MW-028 – Frenni Fawr

 

GW/MW-028 – Frenni Fawr

12/07/2020

The first after Covid lockdown..

Val was with me today as it had promised a really nice day. The forecast was correct and the bands were working as well.  Friends soon qualified the summit for me including Don G0RQL booming in from Holsworthy in Devon.  Tremendous run on 2m with quite a few s2s in the log.  We had a ‘social distancing’ meet up with Frank MW0OFA in Blaenffos for a few minutes which was a nice end to the day.

My GPS route..parked at SN 189 359

Heading up..first false summit


Other SOTA summits in the distance
