Catch up 1

 Catch up 1

Due to various activities I’ve neglected this blog. I’m going to have to play ‘catch up’ now so here goes. Since my activation of Craig y Llyn (last entry) I’ve activated 42 SOTA summits with 21 listed below and achieved a few milestones. My number of contacts for each summit are in red…. All routes to these summits are available if you look back in my blog as well as on SOTA Mapping  https://www.sotamaps.org and SOTLAS https://sotl.as/
