Group:Richard, Roger, Gordon, Annie H., Sylvia and Dave J.Another great day for a walk. No rain and plenty of warm sunny weather. The tide was out for the coastal section and then we followed the North Wales Coastal Path (nearly losing Richard in the process) past the Maiden's Leap before rejoining the planned route briefly. We then took the Llandulas road from Rhy-y-foel as far as Terfyl where we turned right up a stony and steep path twards Cefn yr Ogof. After the initial step climb, it was a fairly easy stroll to the trig point for lunch. What a treat it was to be on a new hillside full of flowers in the sun. We walked South down to the end of the open access land and joined the planned walk at Llys Awel.
Birds seen and heard today included:Herring gull, Oystercatcher, Carrion crow, Magpie, Jay, Raven, House sparrow, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Chiffchaff, Blackbird, Song thrush, Pheasant, Woodpigeon, Collared dove, Wren and Buzzard.
