The Clwydian Hills, not as clear as you would like if you were walking Offa's Dyke today.
Thankfully today we're not!
St. Cynhafal church.

Is anyone interested?

I'm glad that I didn't listen to the weather forecast prediction that it would feel like 6 or 7 Celsius, if I'd put my winter gear on I'd have been cooking! Thankfully shorts were the order of the day and waterproofs were needed for a few minutes after lunch, although there was a dampness around throughout the walk.

This was a very pleasant walk, almost a stroll, with plenty of birds around to grab our attention. We frequently had good views of the Clwydians around Moel Arthur, bu the higher sections of the range were often in cloud.
Birds seen or heard today included: House sparrow, Dunnock, Pied wagtail, carrion crow, Raven, Jackdaw, Common gull, Black-headed gull, Mistle thrush, Fieldfare, Chaffinch, Redwing, Geenfinch, Winter wren, Blackbird, Common buzzard, Goldfinch, Common starling, Grey heron, Great cormorant, Mallard and Common pheasant.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Halkyn, but only three were in attendance. The early finish was too early for Dave J, but I think Saturday in Buxton might be a different kettle of fish!
