The weather turned out to be much better than the forecast and waterproofs weren't needed after the first ten minutes or so. The views from Mynydd Garthmym were good, but not as clear as on the group's last visit early in the year. The Capel Garmon Burial Chamber was quite a fascinating site, but the highlights of the day were many cascading waterfalls that we could see, including Machno and Conwy Falls as well as several other unnamed ones. Fruit cake and chocolate orange were provided to mark Martyn's birthday. The group also gave Martyn a gift that will be used to purchase more from the Memory Map series of software. Martyn would like to thank all that contributed to the gift, and to Richard who presented Martyn with the challenge of growing a White Egret Orchid!
Birds seen or heard today included:Redstart, Raven, Buzzard, Blue tit, Great tit, Chaffinch, Stonechat, Swallow, Jackdaw, Goldfinch and Wren.
After walk celebrations were held at the Britannia Inn, Pentre Halkyn where the Lees bitter was in fine form.
