the verge to park one car at\u00a0ST 194 932.\u00a0 The track is not as well defined as the map would suggest but it is there if you look carefully, at least as far as the farm at Ton-eithin.\u00a0 Beyond this, once onto the access land, the whole area was covered in fern obscuring any track.\u00a0 Fortunately there are sheep there doing a good job of keeping a path open through the ferns so I was able to follow their path around to the summit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.m1cje.uk\/index.php\/sota-summits-on-the-air\/welsh-summits\/mynydd-y-lan-2018\/img_5281-e1536056151292-169x300\/\"

immediately obvious summit at the point indicated by the SOTA database.\u00a0 This point is some 200m South of the point indicated on the map, it\u2019s all in the activation zone so I guess it doesn\u2019t really matter where you choose.\u00a0 I managed to find a marker stone about 50m E of the SOTA point and 150m SSE from the map summit mark.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what the stone is there for but it seemed a reasonable spot to operate from and should be easily found again.\u00a0 There are radio towers both to the North and to the South of the summit but they are far enough away to not be a problem.\u00a0 I set up the station, the stone made a good anchor for the antenna pole.\u00a0 I soon had enough contacts in the log including MW6BWA again summit to summit and also MW0JLA summit to summit.\u00a0 I also managed to log Alan GW6VPX again on his way back down Pen y Fan.\u00a0 The return to the car is uneventful, just follow the same route back again.<\/p>\n<h3>GW\/SW-024\u00a0Log<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.m1cje.uk\/index.php\/sota-summits-on-the-air\/welsh-summits\/mynydd-y-lan-2018\/img_5b8e5de8c4794\/\" rel=\"attachment
