GW/NW-049 Gyrn Moelfre

10/August/2021

Second summit of the day…another unique

In my haste to get to the summit I ‘foolishly’ forgot to take the FT1900 out of the rucksack and carried it up to Gyrn Moelfre at 523m ASL but boy did I have some fun with it with some very enjoyable QSOs...thank you. Don't think it'll be back in the rucksack soon...back to light weight activations. The route to this summit is available on SOTA Mapping.

My starting point...room for one car

Nice view from summit

Glorious day

Really messy office today

Nice fence to attach the poles
