Report from GW6OVD
I arrived at SN855 223 at around 10.40 to find roadside parking for 3 or 4 cars. I parked up and loaded the rucksack.
From here, the path is very good, and rises steeply towards
the Summit.
Report from GW6OVD
I arrived at SN855 223 at around 10.40 to find roadside parking for 3 or 4 cars. I parked up and loaded the rucksack.
Looking towards Fan Brycheiniog , which was obscured by low
cloud, I could see no obvious path. I
headed off in the right general direction until I found a good point to cross
the stream. It quickly became very wet
underfoot, especially where it flattens out a little after the first ridge.
Looking back from this point my car was barely visible
through the mist.
I pressed on until I reached Llyn y Fan Fawr (SN833 213) and stopped for a rest and a quick
cup of coffee.
At the summit there is a circular stone shelter which made a
good point to operate from.
After erecting the antenna I quickly managed to make enough
contacts for my activation, with excellent reports from as far as Cardigan,
Milford Haven and Swindon.
By this time the weather had taken a turn for the worst and it
was time to head back home.
Total distance covered was 7.2km, walking time around 1 hour
20 minutes each way.
Sorry there’s no photos this time, but some idiot forgot to
put a SD card in the camera before leaving, Hi Hi
Many thanks to all those who helped with my activation of
Fan Brycheiniog.
