Just announced this morning, a new Marilyn has been found in the GM/SS region near to Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Lamberton Hill is a 217m summit with a drop of 150.5m. I’ll get this added to the association over the coming weeks.
Andy, many thanks for providing the excuse to cross the border the next time we stay up in Northumberland - looks like a good opportunity to combine it with some more Northumbrian HuMPs.
Another cross-country trek is on the cards for Jack COX as he will no longer have activated all the GM/SS summits south of the central belt.
I hadn’t thought of that! I’ve still got shedloads of odd’n’sods to do down there. Some are just the kind of hill you tick off a list and forget. Others look rather shapely like Rubers Law.
Anyway Jack’s got a proper wee DXpedition to RRS planned for the next few weeks. (RRS = Really Remote Scotland).

Aye well there’s some decent hills with some pleasant walking. Hownam and Rubers certainly get my thumbs up. Not much of a drive for you either, you lucky blighter!

P.S. Lamberton Hill - had a look at the summit and thought “darn it, it’s on private land”… then I remembered that it lies in Sensibleland.
In reply to MM0FMF:
And hot on the heels of this one in GM/SS is yet another new Marilyn in Wales viz. Mynydd Anelog on the Lleyn Peninsula, surveyed on 12th July and found to have 151.0m prominence.

Mynydd Anelog on the Lleyn Peninsula.
Bother. Just come back from a few days down in that area. Nice coastal breezes too. AM or SSB only from this new one - none of these digital modes, HI.
In reply to G0CQK:
I activated this hill twice last year for the Humps programme -
I intend to activate this again on Saturday for Sota. Will it be GW/NW-077?
Refer these enquiries to the GW AM Roger MW0IDX. Note that it won’t be valid for SOTA until Roger issues an update of the GW Association Reference Manual with it in. And yes, I expect it will be GW/NW-077, but you’ll have to wait to learn the ‘Valid from’ date.
I like the location of this one, a nice area! I bet on its first day you won’t be able to move without tripping over activators and garrotting yourself on wires!

Lol… I was trying to think of the apt thing to say, but it’s just “lol, lol LOL!!!”
… you won’t be able to move without tripping over activators…
Risking a few verbal missiles… I think Roger should take the honours on this one and Andy the honours on Lamberton in appreciation of their efforts as Association Managers.
In reply to G4OIG:
Difficult to argue with that Gerald. But I’ve found a way!
Roger and Andy already have lots of first activations to their names. I can think of lots of prominent activators who are newer to sota that probably don’t have any.
