6 SOTA Summit weekender (part 4). Return to Wales! GW/NW-051 Foel Fenlli 8/9/24

Sunday was upon us, and it was time to return to Wales to collect the girls from Towyn! Now I originally planned on doing a Welsh biggie GW/NW-012 Cadair Berwyn fitted the bill, a reasonably steady 8 pointer, and not too far out of the way for my return to Towyn, HOWEVER I decided against it, and went for GW/NW-051 Foel Fenlli and the intention of doing GW/NW-044 Moel Famau after it, both are accessible from ths same car park, and relatively easy, plus a good bit closer to Towyn!

I set off down to Wales, and the weather was still murky, the mountain Weather had given it clear by mid morning, so I stuck with the plan, on arriving a the top car park, the mist was thicker.... Here we go again I thought! still hopeful it would start to clear, I headed off in search of the summit of Foel Fenlli! well, the clag never cleared did it... it got thicker and thicker! I eventually found the summit cairn, and chucked the mast up..

10 contacts, 10 mins! then the rain started... balls! id activated and was off, I descended a different and shorter looking way but sill ended up like a drowned rat, I took one look at the path up to Moel Famau and thought stuff this!! and made my way to Towyn instead... and funnily enough the sun was starting to come out there! Welsh weather huh!

Anyhow, 6 activations & 9 points gained, I was happy enough with that!
