Walking average: 2.4 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Richard, Tim, Michel, Fran, Tito, Celia, Dave and Sylvia J.
The walk stated at Corwen, rather than the suggested start at Llangar Church, used footpaths from Corwen to Llangar, rather than following the minor road. The weather was kind to us. In fact I think this was the sunniest July day that we have had this year. Overall this was a very pleasant walk, especially along the river and once we had emerged onto the moor. Bilberries and wild raspberries were just about perfect, adding to our five fruits a day. The views to the Rhinogs and Snowdonia excellent as well as the nearer Arans, Berwyns and the Arenigs. The Clwydians and Llantysilio Mountains were clear from the Pen y Pigyn memorial.
Animals seen included a lizard (alas not alive), Trout jumping and a very large of very tiny frogs crossing the track in Cynwyd Forest. Birds seen or heard included: Grey Heron, Mallard, Goosanders, Goldfinch, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, House sparrow, Swifts, Swallows and House Martins, Meadow Pipits and Chaffinch. We also saw Guinea Fowl and a Peacock, but these weren't wild!
I very pleasant pint or two were quaffed in the delightfully situated Grouse Inn at Carrog.
