1st October 2009
Corley Moor 548 feet SP 28103 84858

Hardly the most impressive summit, though if they had put a trig point in the middle of the road it could have caused a few probs !

Nats Radio mast on top of Clee Burf with BT's mast on Abdon Burf in the distance.
A few military aircraft we about including 2 typhoons that didn't give me chance to get the camera out !
