Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Gordon, Annie H., Sylvia and Dave J.
This walk was completed almost entirely surrounded by damp air, and on Moel Famau itself it was like being in a cloud. It wasn't cold and with no wind it was only late in the day that it started to clear. These two walks from Dave Berry's "More Walks in the Clwydian Hills" provided an excellent route to Moel Famau from Loggerheads. Surprisingly the path down to reservoir No. 3 was new to all of us. This pleasant route back down to Cilcain seems less used than other paths, but I for one will need to take more care on the grassy wet and muddy sections if I'm to avoid the indignity of slipping and sliding so frequently!
The views were more or less none existent except for the delightful section on the Leet Path above the Alyn.
Birds seen or heard today included:Carrion crow, Magpie, Nuthatch, Rook, Jackdaw, Kestrel, Buzzard, Wren, Robin, Meadow pipit, Blackbird, House sparrow, Blue tit and Great tit.
Cwrw Eryri was enjoyed by most of us at the Glasfryn. Surprisingly for this hostelry it was very quiet, there was only about four other people there.
