After wasting the best part of 2 hours and 3 attempts today, at trying to ascend the approach to Long Mynd from Church Stretton, I gave up and drove to Caer Caradoc Hill where this approach wasn’t much better
Finally, I made my way to G/WB-003 Stiperstones, however, I managed to alert myself and was spotted as G/WB-005 Long Mynd. The error was picked up very quickly and the spot was ammended.
Just to confirmation for a few early chasers, I was in fact activating G/WB-003 Stiperstones.
It’s a nice walk from Church Stretton to Long Mynd, it’s also an easy walk across from Church Stretton to Caer Caradoc. Both can easily be done in a day on foot. They make a nice day out by train and were both done on SOTA’s very first day.

To be honest Richard, I did consider the walk. There were shed loads of hikers going up there. Unfortunately, I’d geared myself up for a short walk from the car park. It’s a bit of a slap to the trig with a 20Ah SLAB, 857, Collinear and poles, without all the other junk I was carrying.
If he gets upset he will start throwing groundplanes around and scratching innocent folks cars…blame the ponies Mick - like you usually do.
His super light weight hf aerial is only let down by the fact that it hangs off the top of a 20Kg colinear and 2 x 2.5m poles each weighing the equivalent of decent scaffolding…more /A than /P

Oi, I’m not the one who throws tantrums, even when hauling somones “flat” 17Ah SLAB up the Gritstone Trail! Perhaps you thought I needed the excersise :-)))
