This lovely roller coaster of a walk is always has lots to offer, today was no exception. The weather forecast wasn't good, and it wasn't long before we were all kitted out in full our winter walking wet gear. The "feels like temperature" at this time must have been close to zero! However after this biting driving rain shower lasting about half an hour the remaining day got better and better. We had good views towards the Eglywseg Mountains, Dinas Bran and after lunch the whole of the Clwydian Range came into view. This view was the one we looked at as we enjoyed lunch (sandwiches provided by Fran, some of us sampling Crayfish and and Rocket for the first time), basking in the sun at lunchtime.
Temperatures were low enough for this to have been described as a winter walk!
Birds seen or heard today included most of the Corvid family and included:Raven, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Chough, Magpie, Wren, Meadow pipit, Robin, Red grouse, Buzzard and Kestrel.
After walk refreshments were at the Crown Inn at Llandegla. J.W. Lees bitter was in good nick and there seemed to be new tenants. Their food menu, most involving steak, tempted several members of the group to suggest that we should arrange to have a meal there after a walk!
Overall a very good day out in our local hills.
