GW/MW-011 - Foel Cwmcerwyn

 

GW/MW-011 - Foel Cwmcerwyn

Happy New Year everyone

This was my 14th activation of Foel Cwmcerwyn which over the last few years has taken place on or around the first day of the New Year. It was touch and go whether I’d be able to activate the summit as a big storm had pushed through overnight.  Luckily the rain had stopped but I experienced some really high winds on top forcing me to forget about HF. I had to hold the fibreglass pole today as it was so windy. Thanks everyone for all the contacts.
