Assistance with England Activation Planning

[G8CPZ]

Hi Chris, there aren’t many SOTA summits within easy reach of London via public transport.

This question came up before and I posted this answer for G/CE-005. I summarized the public transport connections in the second paragraph.

Easiest activation for visitor to London G/SE-002?

Hi Scott, You haven’t mentioned whether you intend to activate at the weekend or not. In case you’re considering Wendover Woods G/CE-005, I use to live a mile or two away and found it hard to get four 2m FM contacts during the week. You will need a better antenna for your HT than the stock rubber duck. I use a Diamond RH-770 half-wave telescopic whip. There are a number of 2m FM repeaters in range and – if you’re struggling to get contacts - you could always make requests there for simplex QSO…

1. part of a scenic hiking area 2) near a town which would be interesting to visit

Wendover is a lovely historic town with several pubs, a few cafes including Rumsey’s Chocolaterie.
