Pre-Planning : Ireland Trip & some EI/ SOTA

Activation Reports Pre-Planning
1

I’m on a trip to Ireland over this week and next and hope to manage to squeeze in some EI/ SOTA.

I have already set ALERTS for EI/IN-001 Errigal and EI/IN-018 Mackoght for Thu 16th Apr.

In addition, I will be based in Sligo for a couple of days and hope to activate one of the local hills there; possibly EI/IN-067 Knocknarea or EI/IN-008 Truskmore; most likely on Tue 14th Apr. Thanks to David @EI3IXB for his advice to date.

I will also be posting on SOTA IRELAND fb group.

I am looking forward to my first SOTA activations in Ireland; especially local to Sligo as this is where my Uncle Des, EI4DB (SK since end 2002), had his QTH.

Great stuff. Welcome to EI!

Best of luck and enjoy the activations. I’m flat out that with work stuff that week so highly likely won’t be able to chase. :frowning:

If you are heading to Sligo, have a look at the caves of Kesh:

Ellie from Tough Soles is class. She completed the Vandeleur-Lynams in 50 days and 5 hours, beating the old record by 5 days! Have a look at their (Ellie and Carl) channel if you want to get some ideas of hikes and summits in EI.

If you are on the East coast at any point giz a nudge!
