The travels of one of the teams hunting for Paul (M0ZMB) during the pedestrian foxhunt. Even though the area is quite compact we managed 3 and a 1/2 miles!!

Wednesday 15th of June the clubs pedestrian foxhunt is back.

It takes place within the Thornbury area. For those new to the club and area the has mainly gentle gradients and everyday walking attire would be ok.

The fox will call on 145.500 at 19:30 hours local, will then move to free frequency (usually 145.400 or 145.450). Once on frequency the fox will transmit on this frequency for a couple of minutes then every 10 minutes until the end.
