The start of our walk in Tinker's Dale.
The skirting the golf course.
The A55 underpass leading from The Warren to Penymynnyd.
Even better than I thought - the whole of the awkward stile has been removed.
Walk stats: 4.6 miles. Climb: 436’.Time: 2 hours 10 minutes. On the move walking average: 2.3 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 2.1 m.p.h.
Temperature: 18.0 Celsius at the end.
Beaufort Wind Force: 0 - 1. Calm to light air
Group: Martyn David S and Fran.
The weather forecast gave a 30% chance of rain around 11-00. We did get some very light rain, but not enough to put waterproofs, although one member did use an umbrella briefly mid walk and towards the end.
At times, particularly towards the end it felt very humid. Not many birds saw today, just lots of dog walker!
As a change to our usual route along the road towards the station, we decided to take the path opposite the Tinker’s Dale Car Park that skirted part of the golf course.
This proved to a worthwhile exercise, and it is a path that will be used again in the future.
As we descended along The Warren, we also investigated a path that headed towards the A55. The presence of horse droppings was an encouraging sign that the path did lead somewhere! It was pleasing to note that it lead to an underpass, so it may be possible in the future to repeat a walk first printed in the Liverpool Daily Post around 1955 before the A55 was built.
Birds seen or heard today included: Moorhen, Woodpigeon, House sparrow, Lapwing, wood nuthatch, Treecreeper Goldfinch, Jackdaw, European robin and Common blackbird.
Overall a very pleasant morning sroll.
