This was a walk that was a challenge in many ways. Route finding in this area wasn't easy and without Richard's Satmap would have been even more so. Much of the walk was on very wet grass. reedy pathless terrain and most of us completed most of the walk with wet feet. At least our feet were the only part of us that got wet! Despite the wet feet, this was an enjoyable yomp and included a new Nuttall peak for all of us. Foel Goch gave superb views in all directions. View included the Arenigs, Snowdonia and three lakes Llyn Tegid, Celyn Reservoir and Llyn Brenig.
Birds seen or heard today included:Woodpigeon, Blue tit, Great tit, Carrion crow, Raven, Buzzard, Stonechat and Redstart.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Cholomendy Arms at Cadole. Blindman's Buff and Celtic Pride were the beer quaffed with relish.
