The second most enjoyable part of the day - after a pint of Lees at The Grouse Inn at Carrog of course!Time: 4 hours 47 minutes; Walking average: 2.3 m.p.h.; Overall walk average: 1.9 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Richard, Roger, Sylvia and Dave J.
The weather forecast for the day wasn't too bad, but it turned out to be much worse than expected. For most of the day we were walking almost continually through damp moist air and at times in cloud. We decided to give our friend Moel Fferna miss and keep below the worst of the cloud. Despite everything overall it was quite a pleasant walk and once more we managed to use a couple of paths that we hadn't used before and at the same time avoided one path that has a notoriously slippy section of smooth rock on it. Views today were somewhat limited and left to memories of past visits. The best of the views was probably heading down to Cwm Canol along a path spoiled in parts from the wheels of off-roading motor-bikes.
Birds seen or heard today included: Long-tailed tit, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, House sparrow, Jackdaw, Raven, Robin, Starling, Pheasant, Meadow pipit, Goldfinch and Dipper. The Grouse of course doesn't count.
Roger, the driver for the day, didn't appreciate the scenic short cut from Carrog to the A5014 Corwen to Llandegla!
