Llansannan and Mynedd Tryfan 2nd July 2009

Richard's photo - somewhere on route! Snowdonia from the approach to Mynedd Tryfan.
A pause on the way to the Mynedd Tryfan ridge.

Mynedd Tryfan.
Walk stats:Distance:10.8 miles; Climb:1419'.
Time:5 hours 16 minutes; On the move walking average:2.5 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:2.0 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Dave J. and Sylvia, Celia, Annie H., Gordon, Sue and Michel Georgie the Jack Russell.
This was a good and more challenging walk than we initially expected. The hot and humid conditions helped to make this a tiring walk. Our extension to Mynedd Tryfan required much debate in route finding, indeed the paths on the O.S. map didn't seem to exist on the ground and crossing fences along the path wasn't easy. This must be the worst section of footpath in Conwy for lack of way marking and stiles or gates in relevant places! Despite this the walk was enjoyed by all, although I think it will probably be the last time that we visit Mynedd Tryfan.
Birds seen or heard today included:Swallow, Swift, Willow warbler, Grey heron, Blackbird, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Buzzard, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Yellowhammer, Redstart, Herring gull and Richard's Dipper.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
