Noel G8GTZ decided he would be starting the contest at Dunkery beacon IO81FD so the obvious place to start the contest was Cleeve Common IO81XW, at the roadside position which always completes the path. The normal road to the car park was closed for 6 weeks for repairs so a convoluted route was taken, which was full of sponsored walkers. However Noel was worked on 5GHz, 10GHz and 24 GHz easily as usual

| 10GHz towards Dunkery |
Gareth G4XAT had meanwhile installed himself at Walbury hill IO91GI. I packed the gear into the man portable fishing trolley and moved to the trig point and worked him on 5 GHz 10 GHz and 24 GHz

| 5GHz man portable towards Walbury |
Next I drove to Notgrove IO91BV and again worked Gareth G4XAT/P on 5GHz, 10GHz and 24 GHz easily
 |
| IO91BV 5 GHz |
I then drove to Membury services on the M4 and stayed the night there at the Premier Inn hotel, which would be convenient for the day 2 activities.
