Many of you will remember Ben Lloyd GW4BML coming to see NARC in the summer of 2024 to share his love of working radio portable as well as his voluntary work as a board director of the RSGB. Well Ben has just written a book detailing his radio adventures and although I am only 1/4 way through I can confirm its rather good and will be sure to interest anyone with a love of summits and radio adventures! Here are some details about the book and and how to order a copy:
As a fellow Mid‑Wales lad who’s lived here all my life, I wanted to reach out and share something quite special. Over the past five years, my family and I have taken on a series of unique adventures across some of the UK’s most remote islands, mainly in Scotland, activating rare SOTA (Summits on the Air) locations and exploring landscapes and wildlife that few ever get the chance to experience.
These journeys, filled with planning, hiking, challenges, and unforgettable moments, have now been brought together in my newly published book, Summit of Dreams.
The book offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at how each expedition came together, the obstacles we faced along the way, and the memories we made as a family in the wild. It’s a celebration of adventure, amateur radio, and the bonds that grow stronger when you’re miles from anywhere, something I hope will resonate with anyone who loves the outdoors or amateur radio.
Summit of Dreams is now available on Amazon. If anyone is interested, the link to the paperback and eBook is below:
