Bryn Alyn from the slopes of Fron Hen.Walk stats: Distance:10.8 miles; Climb:2541'.
Time: 5 hours 13 minutes; Walking average:2.4 m.p.h.; Overall walk average:2.1 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Annie H., Celia, Tim, Sylvia and Dave J.
Today's walk was completed in good walking conditions, somewhat cool, dry and at times unexpectedly the sun came out. The only downside was bracing wind that accompanied as on both our visits to the limestone area of Bryn Alyn. Underfoot it was to put it politely a little muddier in places than we would have liked, the worst bit was self inflicked as the majority, led by Richard, chose to take a closer look at the Burley Hill Quarry while Dave and Martyn were checking out the route we should have taken. Martyn suggested that Richard's punishment for leading them astray was to join us in our after walk visit to the Glasfryn, but he said it was more than he could bear! Overall this is a very enjoyable and varied walk and the section around Bryn Alyn will always be a regular on our walk lists.
Birds seen or heard today included: Blackbird, Collard dove, Dipper, Coal tit, Great tit, Blue tit, Long-tailed tit, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Magpie, Kestrel and Buzzard.
Most of us enjoyed Cwrw Eryri close to the open fire at the Glasfryn.
