Group, Ed, Fran, Elaine and NigelDistance 6.5 miles, climb 1524', temperature 10 to 15 Celsus with breezy to gusty winds, time taken 5 hours including 30 minutes for lunch.
We left Bwlch Panberra which is £5 to park at now and as per the blog cards do not work .It was very windy ,so we were glad we weren't doing Moel Famau today.
Our first decision was do we go straight up Moel Fenlli or take the easier accent on the Offa's Dyke , the latter won. On reaching the Cairn on Foel Fenlli where we almost got blown over, we quickly stopped for the obligatory photo of Moel Famau, then dropped down a bit for 10.45s. We then followed the Offa's Dyke through some nice wooded paths and fields with views of Moel Gyw.
Just before Wernog it started to spit with rain, however we were sheltered in the woods from it. We noted a new craft getaway being developed in the woods and stopped at the far end for our lunch.
After lunch we meandered through Coed Rhiwig and Cwm Bleannant before deciding to avoid walking on the road as described and take the pathways, where we saw 4 Kestrels as we ascended Cwm Caunant back to the cars. Extensions were ruled out by a unanimous vote of 4 to 0. A good walk on a windy day was ended for some by drinks at the Glasfryn.
Birds identified on walk Wood pigeon, Crow, Rook and Kestrel
