The best patch of wild Snowdrops that we have seen this year to date. 
The last of the muddy patches, well nearly!
Will they or won't they?
Yes they will. Walk stats: Distance:9.5 mles; Climb:1266'.
Time:4 hours 38 minutes; On the move walking average:2.4 m.p.h.;Overall walking average:2.0 m.p.h.Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Dave J., Gordon, Celia, Annie H., Fran and Tito, Sue and Michel.
The weather was overcast but dry and without any sun quite cool. We knew sections of this walk could be a bit on the muddy side, but today it more than lived up to its reputation. Hopefully everyone's boots were given a good wash on getting home and for some gaiters and trousers too! Nevertheless this was a good walk, allowing us all to experience sections of paths never used before. We even encountered a friendly farm dog that just wanted us to show us his ball! The lunch spot wasn't the best in the world, but no-one really grumbled and we all happily celebrated the completion of the walk in the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn. The Lees bitter was in particularly good form, but there again it usually is!
No baby calves this week, but there were a few quite young lambs to cause a few ahs!
