Jordan @M3TMX achieved Mountain Goat today when activating 4 SOTA summits in the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. These SOTA summits were Pen y Fan GW/SW-001, Fan Fawr GW/SW-005, Fan Gyhirych GW/SW-006 and Fan Nedd GW/SW-007. Not sure which of these summits he achieved Mountain Goat on, but whatever summit it was I am pleased that Jordan has now achieved Mountain Goat. Jordan has been activating SOTA summits since he was young lad. Back in 2009 when I was only 16 years of age and Jordan was only 14 years of age, he joined me, my dad Tom @M1EYP and my brother Liam of joint SOTA activations of 2 SOTA summits in the Lake District which were Baystones G/LD-039 (now no longer a SOTA summit) and Loughrigg Fell G/LD-047 (see photos below). It was a pleasure doing these joint SOTA activations with Jordan. Our next joint SOTA activation with Jordan was on mine and my dad’s local SOTA summit The Cloud G/SP-015 2 years ago (see photo below) and again was a pleasure to meet Jordan once again for a joint SOTA activation. Earlier that day Jordan activated Kinder Scout G/SP-001, Shining Tor G/SP-004 and Gun G/SP-013. My dad activated Moel-y-Gamelin GW/NW-042 and Cyrn-y-Brain GW/NW-043 earlier that day also. The next 2 times we met Jordan was at Mr Bun The Baker in Church Stretton, Shropshire (see photos below) after doing our SOTA activations for Gaulfest. The first time being 28th December 2018 where me and my dad activated Pegwn Mawr GW/MW-006 and Beacon Hill GW/MW-009 and Jordan activated The Wrekin G/WB-010. The 2nd time and the last time of meeting Jordan was on the 30th December 2019 which also happened to be Jordan’s 25th Birthday which I gave him a card for. Earlier that day me and my dad activated Plynlimon GW/MW-001 and Jordan activated Cadair Berwyn GW/NW-012 and Rhialgwm GW/NW-046. At these Gaulfest meet ups me, my dad and Jordan enjoyed talking with each other about our SOTA activations earlier that day. I am sure you’ll all join me in congratulating Jordan on achieving Mountain Goat today and I am sure his mum Amanda 2E0MND (@M3MND) and his dad Ian @G7EGQ will be very proud of Jordan achieving Mountain Goat today also.
