Two more summits doable in one day.
The start is in the middle of the village of Rosazia. In a curve, a small yellow sign indicates "Forêt de Liviu". I followed the yellow marks until i reached a hut at altitude 1390m where there is also a fresh source.

2 summits doable in one day.
The start is at the "Col di Sevi", both are on each side of the pass and cairns are helping to find the tracks. Very easy summits, with absolutely no difficulties. Probably the easiest 2 summits expedition in Corsica.

Punta Migliarello TK/TK015 - 2254 m asl - JN42MD81
Monte d'Oro - TK/TK-007 2389 m asl - JN42ND12

Very long hiking if both summits are done the same day !
The start can be done at different places at the "Col de Vizzavona" 1100m and follows the famous GR20. Follow the red/white marks until you reach the pass "Bocca di Muratello" at 2020m asl where you leave the GR20 and aim the summit of "Punta Migliarello" TK-015 azimut SW.
Follow the cairns along the ridge and the summit is easy to reach at 2254 m. The summit is flat and grassy and allows all sort of antennas and even overnighting with a tent.

Nice hike with a very nice view from the summit and a beautiful cross on top. About 13 km long and + 1000m climbing.
I started from the parking along the road close to the "Païsone d'Aïtone". The path is rather tricky to follow, too many stones showing different directions, more specificaly in the forest.
My tracks seems to be the safest way to reach the summit.

Not too much activity and some QRN led to only 20 QSOs with 2 S2S.

Short walk to this summit but very steep, +420 m for 1,5 km...
33 QSOs from which 7 S2S, all on 40 m CW !  CW rocks !!
A log sheet was blown away by the wind and stayed in the air for about 5 minutes, went very high above me and had the good idea to fall down only a few meters away...

This summit is the highest point of the north rim of the Gulf of Ajaccio. It is a easy one as it is on a very popular track "Le sentier des crêtes", the crest road which follows the coastline from the city center to the slopes of Sanguinaires. Lasting three hours, this path is accessible to everyone, and offers exceptional views of the coast, plunging views balcony above the sea. This path allows a botanical discovery of the natural environment in mountain.

Monte Sant'Angelo

This summit has been added to the SOTA list a week ago and is now probably the easiest summit for me...
A communication tower is on top of it, and when you're there you understand why ! It is in the middle of the gulf  and of the industrial and urban zone.

The top is flat and can be reached by car or bike.

I made my best results so far from this summit. Was it due to good conditions or good location, the future will say.
I made 49 QSO and a few S2S, all on 40 m CW. I will be back with more bands.

Nice weather, no wind and a need of some physical activity convinced me to activate a summit.
TK073 Sant'Eliseu has never been activated before, is not very far from home but needs about 800 m climbing.. The right candidate !

The path is clean and well marked, so no problem. I already visited this summit several times before but without any radio...

This summit has never been activated before and i never have been on it. The WX forecast was good ,so it was time to activate it !
The track is marked with yellow stripes until you reach the pass "Bocca Pazzara" where you leave the track and must stay on the ridge line until the summit.
It took me 2 h 45 min to reach the summit and both ways are 13.31 km long.

This is the first 2 points summit i've activated.
The track to this summit is clean as most of it uses the "Mare a mare centre" path that crosses the island from West to East. At some point, you leave this path and there is a small track marked with stones that brings you to the summit. It takes about 1,5 hours and 600 m altitude gain.
On the summit, there are a few professionnal radio repeaters. The towers and solar pannels are poorly maintained...
The view is magical ! I saw the island of Sardinia and the smaller islands North of it... The gulf of Ajaccio laying at my feet.

This is a very easy summit to reach, a very short 30 min walk and you're there. Almost to easy !
The view is very nice in all directions and the summit is flat and grassy, which is rather rare in Corsica ! I will activate it again later in the season and i have more bands to activate. This can be an after work evening activation...

The setup went quickly and without any problem. I've been QRV in a very short time.
Once powered, the QCX was receiving CQ TEST on 7032 MHz. Noooooo, NOT AGAIN ! Contests are a real plague for QRPers !

I managed to work only 19 stations on 7036 MHz, after that i had no more answers and i stopped my activity.
Two S2S contacts anyways... :-)
