POTA GB-1306 Sherburn Willows Nature Reserve

Cold activation today, but no frost on the ground so small win. Setup on the usual hill overlooking the Willows and railway line in the distance.

Was hoping for a good activation after how bad radio had been in New Zealand.

The contacts came in quite quick and I got the park activated.

Managed to hunt some SOTA which was cool.

Then got some more contacts on 20m.

All in all a good activation.
