On arriving at the Great Orme this morning, I was met by a barrier across the road, manned by a load of people in tabbards. I was informed it was the Wales Rally GB and that if I wished to go onto the Great Orme, it would cost me £20 and a further £5 to park the car!
Apparently four public footpaths are indeed closed, and the proper public announcements of these were posted in the local newspapers. However, as I understand it, some footpaths from the town side are not subject to these closures, so it should still have been possible to access the activation zone and avoid a wasted journey.

I considered this Tom, but thought that there may be crowds on the summit possibly making it very difficult in the antenna department. The primary reason for my visit to Llandudno, was a meeting this morning, so the journey was far from wasted. However, the rally was a bit of an inconvenience from a SOTA POV.

Unfortunately I’m off “up Boslum” for a beer or 12 and a nice hot Ruby.
I’ll look forward to your radio refresher course another night Mickey. In the mean time I’ll try and do some homework. …
Now where did I put my book about CB Radio?
In reply to M1EYP:
The path up through Haulfre gardens should have been OK, or the zig zag path (technical description) along side. That is the route I use to take when I lived at the bottom of GO.
I didn’t see much advertising about the car rally in advance to be honest. But Llandudno was very busy.
