A new view of the Clwydian Hills. 
The morning group heading for the Nettles! 
The afternoon group strolling after their Jewish experience!
Walk stats:Distance:13.0miles; Climb:695'.
Time:5 hours 25 minutes (exc luding lunch). On the move walking average:2.7 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:2.5 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Roger, Gordon and Tim and joined by Fran, Sue and Dave P for the afternoon trip to Eyarth Halt.
This was a good day for walking, although at times it seemed a little humid. The occasional breeze was always a welcome. In fact the walk should't really include Coed Ceunant in its name as we took a short cut that missed out Llanbedre Hall ant Coed Ceunant altogether in our efforts to get back to the riverside car park in Ruthin before 13-00. Very little climb involved today and the main challenges were mainly stiles and stinging Nettles! The views all day along the Clwydian Hills and across the Vale of Clwyd were excellent whenever we could see above the crops of Maize.
We arrived back at the car park on time, and we were all rewarded with a fine piece of Margaret's cherry and sultana cake.
The afternoon walk was memorable for two things, the first being the muddy smelly farm and farm tracks that we had to endure and the second (the highlight of the walk) was receiving a text from Sylvia announcing that Rosemary had given birth to a girl, Libby, at 13-42 and that all were doing well.
Birds seen or heard today included:Blackbird, Chaffinch, House sparrow, Magpie, Buzzard, Grey heron, Grey wagtail, Blue tit, Carrion crow and Jackdaw.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Glasfryn where Snowdonia Ale was the quenching beer of choice, although one member tried one from the Three Tuns brewery!
