The Afon Aber at Abergwyngregyn.
Looking above the Chapel at Abergwyngregyn towards the Traeth Lavan Foothills.
Thankfully the high tops of the Carneddau are not on our route today.
The easy part of the walk today.
Investigating a path - how does it get to the other side of the A55?

A Grey heron, one of the birds that we saw at The Spinnies.

A good day for walking, cool at times, feeling quite warm in the sun at lunch, where we sat in short sleeves at a picnic table at The Spinnies car park on the coast.
The best views of the day came as we crossed foothills on the North Wales Footpath. At one point the Sun was shining over Anglesey, and we all sad we should have been doing the Beaumaris / Penmon Walk.
We called in at The Spinnies, but most of the birds must have been in hiding!
As we had lunch, a former teacher from UHS recognise Mike and came across to have a chat.
After lunch it was along the coastal path, part of which had been made safer by rerouting through the adjacent field.
The track west of Cwrtiau, was better than on previous occasions, but still needs attention considering it is part of the Wales Coastal Path.
Birds seen or heard today included: European robin, Winter wren, Carrion crow, Herrig gull,Common redshank, Eurasian curlew, Grey heron, Mallard and Moorhen.
An enjoyable walk, celebated bydrinks at The Albion in Conwy.
