Not much to say about this activation.
Ruardean Hill is a simple "drive on" summit and, as I was close by, I called in for a quick activation.
Apart form a couple of dog walkers I had the place to myself to while away an hour or two.

With a weather forecast for a fine sunny day, something very rare this summer, I decided to combine my biking hobby with a bit of SOTA.
Ruardean Hill is a "drive on" summit so ideally suited to arrive on bicycle. It's a nice 30 mile ride there via the country lanes, so I turned this into a 60 mile day out on the road.
The workhorse.
I have a 5 Metre travel pole which is eay to carry on the bike. This alongside my MTR made up the equipment required for the day.
It turned out to be an excellent hot and sunny day and the operating shack at Ruardean Hill was top notch, with a bench to sit on!
A nice pleasant activation with 21 QSOs and 11 DXCC.
