This summit was the second of two planned for activation.

After a short drive we arrived at the second car park where there was plenty of room to park cars.

The path to the summit passes a few farm buildings on the left as the rocky road climbs up, passing through three gates. The walk takes about 40 minutes to the summit with great views of Swansea and the Steel Works. The noise from the M4 was suprisingly loud.

There is plenty of room to setup, calling CQ on 145.500 raised no response, and a panic set in! However we then managed to work a summit - summit contact with XXXXXXXXX and we managed to activate the summit.

Due to the large flat summit the view is somewhat restricted of the local area so make the most of the views on the walk up.
The walk back down !
