I think the lock down in France starts tomorrow Friday 30th of October.
OK and OM are in lock down as well.
Covid-19 numbers are bad in SP but no decision yet about a lock down…

Yes Romain you are right. I will correct the post

Good luck. If everyone follows the rules you should be able to have the restrictions eased soon. Here in Melbourne we are starting to move out of our lockdown. It was delayed because some people ignored their infection and we had a couple of outbreaks

I may be able to have a SOTA activation in about 10 days if new case numbers remain low and the next level of easing occurs. It’s over 6 months since I was able to get out.

Hi all,
Starting next Saturday, 28 November, we will be able to go within a radius of 20km around our home for a period of 3 hours for activities of which the SOTA is part. :+1:
If the pandemic continues to decline, on December 15 the entire territory will be accessible, but I have doubts about this…
Stay safe

The first summit is 65 km from my house … what a pity … the time is limited to 3 hours also including the trip and installation … so you have not lot of time for activation … big pile-up !!!

Lucky Guys … perhaps I can ask to the French SOTA Association to add some new summits near my location :grin:

I hope that France will withdraw the restrictions.
Our dog always suffers a lot from the bangers on New Year’s Eve and that is why we rented a house near Dijon for some days …
…and I have already picked out a few summits in FL/VL

I see a WOLF following you?

a fun SOTA activation on Mont Ventoux should to be climb there by bike … with a QCX mini it should be more easy :=)
And with a wolf running behind the bike more challenging …
