Semaforo in Sardinia is where Marconi conducted his 1932 radio experiments. I activated this historic site as IS0/M1HAX/P on HF. A fascinating pilgrimage.

Black Hill in the Dark Peak follows the historic Pennine Way on flagstone paths. A quick VHF activation from this Marilyn summit. A pleasant moorland walk.

Freeholds Top in the Southern Pennines is a boggy Marilyn above Rossendale. An easy track to the trig point and pond. A muddy but rewarding short walk.

Hail Storm Hill is the highest point in Rossendale. Followed the Pennine Way to this Lancashire Marilyn. A pleasant walk with a large activation zone.

Dungavel Hill is a quick grassy Marilyn near Tinto in South Lanarkshire. An ideal short activation when driving north, despite the wind and rain.

Cnoc an Daimh Mor in Sutherland was one of the UK’s last unactivated Marilyn summits. A remote pathless expedition through wild Scottish moorland.

Meadie Ridge above Loch Meadie in remote Sutherland. Only the second SOTA activation of this isolated Marilyn, reached via pathless moorland terrain.

A quick and relatively easy walking trip near Loch Ness to the summit of the unusually named Tom Bailgeann near Loch Ness, Scotland.

My walking route writeup for a hike up the famous Ben Nevis (1345m) via the popular Mountain Path, or Tourist Track.

Moncreiffe Hill near Perth has Iron Age hillforts and fine views. I climbed through Woodland Trust trails from Rhynd Road. A convenient motorway break.
