To G4SSH from GT0OOO/p
The following text message was recd from John at 0930z
"I am now at parking place for GD-002 (IOM) Driving rain, wind and fog
The End to End mountain bike Island race is due to come down this track
shortly and I will be walking up it for the next 2 hours and the road will be
closed until noon.
If conditions remain like this at the summit I will not be staying long.
Wind speed is bad enough here and it is just 11 degrees C.
There is no shelter at the summit, only a trig point.
Am waiting out the Wx for a while.

Thanks for the update Roy - I cannot see this being a pleasant activation for John and the Mountain Bike race (if he can see it) won’t help progress. One good thing about GD-002 there is a sturdy pole to fix his antenna support to. I will standby on 3557 - we should hear him.
