The remains of Deborah's Well Monument - information board now missing.
Looking eastward from the top of Moel Findeg.
"How did it go?"
Out of earshot - I wonder what they are talking about.
Which way now?

This was a good day for walking, dry throughout, sunny in the morning, but cloudy and cooler after lunch.
The first objective was visit Deborah’s Well, or at least the memorial. The much damaged information board had been removed and the name “Deborah’s Well” had been scratched on the stones of the memorial.
The second objective was Moel Findeg, from which we had good, but not crystal clear distant views.
Lunch was taken in Tir-y-coed, where some used fallen / felled tree trunks to sit on and two of us used the step of the nearby stile.
Sue provide us all with a piece of homemade parkin that we all appreciated. Thank’s Sue.
Our main challenge came in the afternoon, where we had to negotiate a very boggy area
It made a change to descend the slopes of Bryn Alyn to the road near the Burley Quarry.
Todaywas the first time this Autumn that we had walked through fallen leaves dry enough to give that characteristic rustling noise we love to hear at this time of the year
Passing The Miners Arms at Maeshafn I found a wallet with a credit card in it. The Pub was shut, but we went round the back and handed it in. Hopefully the man (with an OBE who dropped it) will return and enquire at the pub to see if it had been handed in.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common blackbird, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Common pheasant, Common buzzard, Woodpigeon and Long tailed tit.
Overall a very enjoyable walk. We headed to the Royal Oak at Kinnerton, where DS bought everyone a drink (an early celebration of his BIG birthday on Boxing Day).
