Skiddaw 20/3/25 and meet M0JKS

I saw that Richard 2eoxgo was going to be on Great Gable and Dave m0jks was on Skiddaw so i thought would go out myself. I did Skiddaw last September and met David g0evv, i like to put faces to people i chase when out or from home
I left the car park at a round 9 o’clock and was on the summit by 10:40 taking slightly longer than normal but ok for my present level of fitness. The walk up was warm with no wind but that all changed on the summit the easterly wind was 25 miles an hour and -6.
The first contact was a s2s with Andy g8cpz i had 2 more s2s’s Richard 2e0xgo and Gerald mw0wml on nw-012, and of course all the regular WOTA chasers a big thanks to them

the uv level was very high and no good for photo’s

Dave m0jks out testing his lora tracking that he has been working on for SOTA, but on this occasion it did not work

Hi Reg,

It was good to work you both on Skiddaw. Even worked Dave on 20m and 40m from the car at work to! Views look great. Last time i was on Skiddaw visibility was about 10 yards!!!
