Fran - no walking extra, but she did cycle to the start from Upton and back (about 5 miles).
It turned out to be a lovely day for a January 1st stroll around the City Walls, but we weren't the only ones to think that, and most of spotted someone we knew as we went round.
Trying to take photos with only our group in the picture wasn't easy, and of course we had to have that first of the year photo of Moel Famau!
An enjoyable walk, after which we headed to Fran's where Sue and Dave joined us for a group meal.  Celia did make to Fran's, but unfortunately didn't feel very well and accepted Nige's offer of a lift home. Hopefully she will feel better soon.
