The walk started at the riverside car park in Llandrillo, an excellent place to start a walk with very well maintained toilets too! The weather could have been kinder, particularly on the summits of the Berwyns. Views were occasionally fleeting but mainly almost none existent. Low cloud and a fair breeze kept things pleasantly cool, but once in the valley it became quite warm and sultry. Despite the conditions this was a good walk and one to be repeated when the skies are blue and the clouds are well above the summits. There were plenty of flowers in bloom and the heather was showing signs of coming in to flower. A few moths and butterflies were also spotted as were two green caterpillars about 5 cm long with black and yellow bands along its length. can't find any of them in my book, can you?
Birds seen or heard on the walk: Meadow pipit, Swallow, Carrion crow, Buzzard, Kestrel, Wheatear and Raven.
