Cape Wrath Challenge

17th May 2008

We had been asked by a friend of mine & fellow radio amateur from a long time back, Harry Munro, to assist with the 2004 challenge marathon. Thinking Cape Wrath, mid May, good weather, nice scenery I said yes. However, sadly Harry died before the event so we headed North with a degree of sadness but also to remember Harry.

2004 - Had a good time, got the radios to work (big engineering!). Visit the area its beautiful!

2005 - Again had a good time and radio gremlins stayed away - getting slicker will have it cracked for 2006. Only the ferry to conquer!

2006 - All worked well, take this in our stride now.

2007 - except when the weather gods conspire! Rerouted on mainland due to bad storms.

2008 - Back to normal all worked well including the ferry!
