Borthwen Beach.
Leaving our lunch spot.
Looking towards Trearddur Bay.
Oystercatchers.
A Linnet.
A Rock pipit.
Distance:9.1 miles. Climb:1381' (wind assisted) more likely about 700'.
Time: 4 hours 32 minutes. On the move walking average:2.5 m.p.h. Overall walk average:2.0 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Roger, Celia and Mike D.
Showers forecast, but thankfully they all occurred when we were in the car. Dull and cloudy with a stiff Westerly wind at first, and the day got better and better. Blue skies and sunshine by mid-day, but the cool wind on the coast persisted throughout, but still short sleeves and shorts weather for some, well one really!
Coastal walks are always great, especially when you've got the waves crashing against the rocks. Not quite as many birds as we had hoped, but the cry of the Oystercatcher was never far from us. Rock pipits were an added bonus too.
Walking along the coastal path was so good that we decided to return along the same route rather than using the inland path through fields.
At lunch time Roger produced some of Margaret's chocolate chip bicuits that went down well with al of the group members. Thanks Margaret. Birds seen or heard today included:House martin, Common whitethroat. Barn swallow, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Blue tit, Rook, Great cormorant, Meadow pipit, Linnet, Stonechat, Meadow pipit, Rock pipit, House sparrow, Herring gull, Black-billed magpie, Common gull and Oystercatcher.

After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn, Pentre Halkyn, where the Lees bitter was as good as ever.
