While in Edinburgh I activated Arthur’s Seat - after obtaining permission from HES.
Parked in the car park near the Duddingston Loch and then proceeded up the grass bank to the roadway above. Along the road and then up the well trodden grass path to the top. Stopping part way to admire the view (and not for a rest…honest)
Navigating the people descending the hill and those who stopped to take pictures. I made it to the top…a very windy top. But what a view!
I found a place just below the trig point on some rocks and tried to setup the 10m vertical…but the wind had other ideas and then the vertical element snapped.
At that point I decided 10m was a bad idea and went to plan b.
Plan B was to operate 2m… Putting a spot out on 2m I called CQ and got a total of 4 contacts and one contact was the lady who originally activated the hill.
From the top
Job done, time to depart the hill before I am blown off the top!
Cheers
