We are looking for around 5 volunteers to provide safety cover at this multi-distance horse ride.

Details can be found on the event page here .

Please let the group controller know if you are available.

Thank you to the members that turned out to support this event on a foggy morning!  Weather improved and the organiser had a record number of just over 260 riders taking part. There were couple of riders off horses but these were dealt with promptly.

Radio wise we used the usual antenna and radio arrangement with 5w on 2m fed from a 70cm talk through to allow a flexible control.  We also tried HF on 3.663MHz to a couple of locations but there was S9 of noise at control which made it very challenging.

We are looking for volunteers to help provide safety cover at this multi-distance horse ride. Some locations are coverable by hand-held and the others require a little bit more in terms of equipment. More details of the event can be found on the events page here.

If you are free to help please contact the group controller.
