One of our first views of the Carneddau near the start of the walk.

This was a superb walk in a much neglected area of Snowdonia. Much to our amazement we did see three other people on the walk. The weather all day was perfecr, wall to wall blue sky, hardly any wind and warm temperatures (20+ Celsius). The views of the high peaks of the Carneddau were excellent, perhaps making us envious that we weren't tramping the high peaks today. Walking around this valley had much to offer and the two hidden reservoirs of Llyn Dulyn and Lynn Melynllyn were an added bonus. Why go abroad when Wales has so much beauty to offer?
Birds seen today: Stonechats (this valley was Stonechat valley), Willow warbler, Chiffchaff, Wren, Meadow pipit, Skylark, Grey wagtail, Raven, Carrion crow,Buzzard, Carrion crow, Chaffinch, Hedge sparrow, Mallard, and Cuckoo (seen as well as heard).
As always good pints of J.W.Lees were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
As always a good time was had by all!
