Beaufort Wind Force: 3, just a Gentle!
Group: Martyn, Sue and Michel, Ed, Fran, Nigel and Mike.
The weather forecast today suggested we might have an odd shower or two and we could expect the feel like temperature to get as low as 2 Celsius.
Alas in the morning we experience, rain and hail, especially at the time stopped for lunch.
The bonus today was all of the birds singing and lots of plants coming into flower.
Birds seen or heard today included: Carrion crow, European robin, Common blackbird, Blue tit, Common chaffinch, Wood nuthatch, House sparrow, Common chaffinch, Winter wren, Great tit, Chiffchaff, Woodpigeon, Great spotted woodpecker, Common buzzard, Raven, Goldfinch, Eurasian jay and Willow warbler.
Flowers seen today included Common dandelion, Ramson, Common Dog violet, Daffodil, Tulip, Primrose, Wood anemone, Periwinkle and Stitchwort.
No takers for the Moel Famau extension today, everyone was happy to stick to the described route, even if we did complete it in the opposite direction as to the usual way we do the walk.
Arriving back at the cars at Cadole, we all knew that we had had a good walk resulting in tired legs demanding reviving with a pint of Purple Moose’s Snowdonia Ale, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord or even a pot of tea at the Glasfryn.
