Pen y Fan
28/02/2015
I’d been saving most of these summits until Barry came up
but the two today would be the ‘icing on the cake’ with 20 points up for grabs.
Weather forecast was for high winds and hill fog. As Barry was ‘on holiday’ I
let him have the run of 40m on the summits and I would use 2m and 60m – method in my madness .
....less work for me :) Anyway, we made
our way up from Storey Arms via SN004215 to Corn Du agreeing to return via the
Beacons Way as a round trip. It was windy and my pole broke almost immediately
so 2m was the order of the day. 34
contacts in total with 1 s2s with Franz ON9CBQ/p on ON/ON-006 La Croix Scaille
– thanks Franz.

Fan Fawr

Tea and burger opposite Storey Arms was the order of the day
before tackling Fan Fawr. Conditions were not much better so I opted just for
2m and it was nice to hear Steve MW0BBU calling in – one of 6 contacts for me.
No s2s for me but Barry managed one with Paul G6GGP/p on G/WB-013 Garway Hill. 38 contacts between
the two of us and we were both glad to get down off this one.
