Looking down on Pentrefoelas, early on the walk. 
The congested A5, thankfully we were going in the opposite direction!
Heading towards Ffridd-y-foel.
This wooded area was a fantastic picture of Snowdrops - the most we have ever seen in one go! Walk stats:Distance:10.9 miles; Climb:1765'.
Time:5Hours 3 minutes; On the move walking average:2.6 m.p.h.; Overall walk average:2.1 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Fran, Sylvia and Dave J.
This turned out to be a really good day for walking, much more sunshine than we could have hoped to get. without the cooling wind , most of us would have opted for clothing more appropriate for much colder climes! This was a walk with very little climb, very few stiles, but potentially fantastic views. Today the views of Snowdonia were outlined faintly, just enough to make us want to return on one of those glorious cold crisp days with the high peaks clothed in snow! Nevertheless this walk, often along high level green tracks making you feel like being on top of the world.
Birds seen or heard today included: Robin, Blackbird, Magpie, Herring gull, Fieldfare, House sparrow, Grey heron, Buzzard, Mistle thrush, Dipper and Peregrine falcon (bird of the day).
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Cholomendey Arms ant Cadol where Cotleigh Harrier beer was one of the several on offer, but relished by most!
