G\/DC-005 \u2013 Passing Pleasure<\/h2>\n

A family holiday down to Cornwall afforded the opportunity to bag a few new summits.\u00a0 We stayed the night in Cullompton which meant we could avoid the Saturday morning traffic on the M5 and get an early start onto our first summit at Christ Cross.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is space for one car on the side of the road at\u00a0SS 965 050 just South of the junction.\u00a0 It\u2019s a short walk up the track to the summit.\u00a0 There is no right of way over the track so you may need to seek permission for access.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is plenty of room beside the radio mast to set up the antenna and if it\u2019s a clear day there is a great view to enjoy whilst setting up.<\/p>\n

We soon had four contacts in the log to qualify the summit, the fourth contact was remarkably into France with Alain down in Brittany.\u00a0 Having made the contact Belinda took the opportunity to have a QSO with Alain as part of her Foundation training practical.\u00a0 After this high point I called a few more times but was unable to raise any further contacts to we packed up and headed off to the next summit.<\/p>\n
