Well you still wont be able to do /AM when you upgrade.
The walking is the best bit of SOTA.

Indeed, the walking, the discovering new places, the planning of the expedition, the navigating, the sharing of the experience with others who like and enjoy the same passionā¦

Without a doubt. The absolute best medicine in the world. I just think it would be nice to arrive in style.

My preference would be to ditch the heavy and noisy motor and go for an Ozone Ultralight glider:
That would get the weight down to under 4kg for glider, harness and reserve parachute. Throw in an MTR and carbon mast and you could have a complete hike-n-fly set up weighing under 8kg, which is lighter than most peopleās day to day SOTA gear. Thereās only one snag in the UK, and thatās the weather (the original reason why I moved to Austria 9 years ago).

Sounds like your average SOTA activator!

Matthew, to late in the day for me to move, a few people have emailed me, highly recommending the Ultralite 4, a very impressive piece of kit indeed, but i was hopeing for something that i could use from my QTH to a summit and then return. Less effort, more economical, more environmentlly friendly, and give me the chance to harvest at an increased rate the all important points. I would just be taking the next step up from a bike,an electric bike, a car, campervan, quad, scrambler, Sherman Tank. But in the middle of a world crisis with reguards to Global warming i feel we need to look at all the options. 73
