Coed y Felin, Moel Ffagnalt and Moel y Gaer 6 September 2007


Where are we?


Where's my mast?
Is it on view now?

Walks stats: distance: 11.3 miles; Time: 5 hours 49 minutes;
Walking average: 2.6 m.p.h.; Overall walk average: 1.9 m.p.h..
Group: Martyn, Richard, Ave and Sylvia J.

Overall this is one of may favourite walks around the Halkyn area, especially when the weather was as good as it was today. Visiting three minor summits, Moel Ffagnallt, Halkyn Mountain and Moel y Gaer, giving excellent views to the Clwydians and even Blackpool Tower and beyond just adds to the memories.
Birds seen and heard: Buzzard, Nuthatch, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Kestrel, Meadow pipit and Stonechat.
A Brown Hare was also seen by some on the slopes of Moel Ffagnallt.
This slightly longer than usual walk did however allow us to enjoy the delights of a pint of J.W.Lees bitter and a few free apples at the Britannia Inn and Halkyn.

I think in future we will have to start a little later to ensure that we don't have to wait for the new opening time of 4-00 p.m.!
