The first hint that this was going to be another Bluebell wood walk!
The medieval cross and school room at Derwen.
St. Mary's Church, Derwen, the welsh entrance.
The foal of the day, but which one ,he/she is running away! 
The unexpected sight of the day, but which one moaned abot stopping for lunch!Walk stats:Distance: 8.7 m.p.h.;Climb:982'.
Time:4 hours 6 minutes; On the move walking average:2.6 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:2.2 m.p.h.

A very select group took advantage of the better than expected weather conditions to embark on this "delightful" walk. today we seemed to be in mist/cloud, but with no wind it was pleasantly warm, despite the feeling of dampness in the air.

Views were always imaginary, we will just have to repeat the walk on a fine Summer day.
A quiet day by all, no talk baby talk, no recipe talk, no holiday talk, only the sound of birds and the sheep.
occasionally we had the challenge of young cattle following us, but at least the sheep ran away!
Two of the party got wet feet, but only one went more than ankle deep in a gallant step of path finding!
Birds seen or heard today included; Magpie, Pheasant, Great tit, Carrion crow, Chiffchaff, Willow warbler, Robin, Blackbird, Buzzard, Wren, Great spotted woodpecker, House sparrow, Chaffinch, Nuthatch, Curlew and Mallard.
After walk drinks were enjoyed by all at the Glasfryn, Mold. The beers enjoyed by two of us included the Conwy brew, Eryri Cwrw, and a Derwent brewery mild.
Always a good walk - a little disappointing that the village of Betws Gwerfil Goch doesn't seem to acknowledge in any way that Augustus John was a notorious resident of the village!
