This is a a good walk and the extensions are a bonus, especially the views. Moel Unben gives superb views towards Snowdonia and later we had good views towards the coast. The weather was kind to us and the threat of rain thankfully didn't materialise. Only once did we go astray in trying to locate the footpath around a house, the owner soon put us on the right track! Georgie still squeals at anything that moves, especially sheep. Will she ever learn, some say not!
Birds seen or heard today included: Blackbird, Carrion crow, Herring gull, Buzzard, Grey heron, Chifchaff, Goldfinch, Great spotter woodpecker, Meadow pipit, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Pied wagtail and Grey wagtail.
After walk drinks were enjoyed as usual at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
