This is always a good walk with outstanding views to Snowdonia and the Clwydian Hills. Today was no exception, although the distant views were a little hazy and some of the peaks in Snowdonia were in cloud. The conditions underfoot were better than expected, with the usual muddy section by the field gate in Tremeirchion being dry. The weather was kind to us, in the main dry and sunny. Only towards the end of th walk on Moel Maenefa did we experience a cooling wind for a short period.
Lunch was taken at the vantage point of the small hill on which the little church associated with St., Bueno's College is situated.
Plenty of flowers were observed on route, but the birds seemed to be keeping their heads down.
Birds seen or heard today included:Carrion crow, Jay, Magpie, Blackbird, Song thrush, Dunnock, Linnet,Willow warbler, Chiffchaff and Buzzard.
Excellent J.W. Lees bitter was enjoyed by most of us at very welcoming Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
