Into the woods not long after setting off from Cadole.
At the view point, but too misty today.
On the way to Pantymwyn.

A little on the cool side, but with no noticable wind, it never felt too cold.
The initial climb alongside the Cefn Mawr Quarry was a little tricky with the wet leaves on the limestone making it feel slippy in places. Thankfully we all avoided any mishaps and it wasn't long before we were down to the main track and lane to Pantymwyn.
Ther was plenty of traffic on the Pantymwyn to Pont Newydd Road, but it wasn't long before we could escape onto The Leete Path.
Walking along The Leete Path is always enjoyable, but today it was a choicebetween vivid Autumnal colours on the trees nearby or the impressive flow of Afon Alyn below us the vied for the star display of the walk.
Birds seen or heard today included: European robin Common blackbird, Wood nuthatch, House sparrow and Woodpigeon.
We all enjoyed the walk, and even more enjoyed the meal and drinks at The Glasfryn afterwards.
