A very fascinating and detailed report Rob. Well done tackling a pair of sizeable summits after being away from the mountains for some time. I can see from your writing that you obviously enjoy the wildlife - seeing the animals and birds is always a real bonus on an activation.
I wonder whether your legs ache after 11 hours of walking.

Hallo Rob, Gratulation zu den Erstaktivierungen in DL/BG und den schönen Tier- und Pflanzenfotos.
Interessant waere noch, auf welchen genauen Frequenzen Du die QSOs gemacht hast, denn 2m/70cm ist immer ein wenig schwierig in unserer Gegend.

An amazing set of photos Rob - thanks for sharing them with us. I was surprised to see just how varied the terrain was - from fertile green areas to boulder fields.
What an experience - I would be on a high for a good week or two after doing those summits!
