Wednesday 1st June 2005 - From Ruardean, we headed NE to the A40, then turned in for the village of Glasshouse Hill.  This in fact was a wrong, but beneficial turning.  A road led right up to a dead end, where the "continuations" were in fact a junction of bridleways.  We took a compass bearing and selected the correct path which passed through a field of horses with baby foals and towards the trig point at the south of a small wood.  This is clearly a favoured beauty spot, and several benches were found both within and around the edges of the wood.

We set up on the north edge of the wood in order to beam into the Midlands, initially on a bench, but soon beat back into the wood itself by the worsening rain.  4 x 2m FM contacts, 11 minutes and off!  Thanks to the following stations, all worked on 2m FM with 2.5 watts:
