The view from the footbridge over the Afon Conwy looking towards the coast.
Where are those slow coaches? 
Snowdonia - one of the best views of the day fro the summit of Mynydd Garthmyn.

Yet another glorious day for walking, bright and sunny and warm in the morning, another day to regret leaving the shorts at home!
The views towards the Glyders and the Carneddau were superb. This is why we love to walk in this beautiful part of Wales!
The rivers tumbling over the rocks, as well as the parts of the Machno falls that we were able to see, made us think why did the notice say "No canoeing"!
The final route up through the pine trees from the A5 was a lovely zig-zag path, wel worthy of the occasional stop to look back towards the valley (which few appreciated!) was worthwhile.
Although not usually liked we did deliberately return to Betws-y-coed via the lovely suspension bridge over the Afon Conwy.
Birds seen or heard today included:Robin, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Herring gull, Blue tit, Great tit, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Bullfinch, House sparrow, Coal tit, Buzzard, Black-billed magpie, Chaffinch and Wren.
After walk drinks (Lees bitter as usual in excellent nick if a little on the cool side) were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn. It was good to see the pub full, even if it was with members of the shoot!
