Walk stats:
Distance: 11.5 miles. Climb: 1333 floors / 1330'. (in step apps a floor is 3m /10')
Group: Mike and Fran
Starting at Cilcain we walked along the low level path to the bottom of Moel Arthur . As the mist was down we skirted the top and went down to the bottom of Pennycloddiau taking a clockwise route approaching the summit of Pennycloddiau from The bottom of Moel yr Parc
( the one with the mast ). This side has been massively churned up by tractors used to take food up to cows . Luckily the ground was dry so no mud but its previous beauty has been spoiled . We returned to the bottom of Moel Arthur and decided against the easy route back from whence we came and decided the slog up Moel Llys-y-coed was worth it for the gentle walk towards Moel Fammau and back past the reservoir to Cilcain. Fran remembered the occasion when we were out walking many years ago and we were asked by a fellow walker if we had any sandwiches because her dog had collapsed with fatigue!! Luckily for us we had already eaten so no butties available. The walk, despite rather dreich conditions was a splendid day out and was completed by a rather delicious pint at Rake Hall in Ellesmere Port . We saw loads of pheasants a crow or two and an odd seagull and the melodious sounds of an unidentified song bird . No flowers observed though a beautiful sycamore about to burst forth brought delight.
