Our first sighting of a young lamb on our walk today.
Looking across Nan-y-Pandy towards the Deeside Quarry.
Moel Fferna in the distance - about as near as I wanted to get today!
Our lunch spot, a resting place for Lekis in the past!
We can all go home happy - we've seen Mo;le Famau!
Walking down the road in a hail storm.
Distance: 8.2 miles. Climb: 1519’ (Possibly wind assisted GPS reading).
Time: 4 hours 34 minutes.
On the move walking average: 2.4 m.p.h.
Overall walk average: 1.8 m.p.h.
Temperature: 6.6 – 8.7 Celsius
Beaufort Wind Force: 3, just a Gentle breeze, although at times it felt a little more than that!
Group: Martyn, Nigel, Mike and Ed.
The weather forecast today wasn’t brilliant, but we were all determined to walk even if it was raining all day.
Thankfully it wasn’t, a little rain as we set off, a hail shower towards the end and the worst rain briefly as we walked back to the cars along the A5.
The path along the West side of Nant-y-Pandy is always good, but today the extra volume of water flow made the waterfalls look even better.
We even managed to find our way across the open moorland without any hassle and arrived at our lunch spot by a small wood.
After lunch all of us decide that the Moel Fferna extension wasn’t desirable today, heading back to the cars quicker and heading for The Grouse Inn at Carrog was the better option,
Birds seen or heard today included: Carrion crow, European robin, Common blackbird, Blue tit, Common buzzard (Seen when enjoying a pint at the Sun at Trevor), Common chaffinch, Wood nuthatch, Common chaffinch, Winter wren, Green woodpecker and Common pheasant.
Overall a very enjoyable walk, especially as by the time I had finished changing, the rain had stopped and I was in bright warm sunshine again.
We arrived at the Grouse Inn at Carrog, looking forward to our usual excellent pint of Lees bitter. Alas we were disappointed, they had no real ale, and delivery was expected tomorrow!
We ended up at The Sun a Trevor, where we had two excellent pints of real ale.
Walking away after a good drink!
