Heading up the bridleway towards Ffridd-y-Foel. 
The site of Foel Las Motte.
Just spotted a Stonechat.
Someone enjoying lunch and still isn't sure where he is going!
The skyline above Pentrefoelas. A ridge for the future perhaps! Walk stats: Distance:10.2 miles; Climb:1054'.
Time:4 hours 48 minutes; On the move walking average:2.5 m.p.h.; Overall walk average:2.1 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Celia, Sylvia and Dave J.
This was almost the perfect day for walking, not too hot, a gentle breeze at times and not too much Sun. This was a very gentile sort of walk with gentle climbs, good terrain and good views from the several vantage points on route. The start point at Pentrefoelas car park was a credit to the village with a lovely cafe nearby and a superb picnic area and play area for youngsters alongside the river.
Birds seen or heard today included: Grey heron, Dipper, Wheatear, Herring gull, Blackbird, Robin, Chaffinch, Wren, Redstart, Buzzard, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch, Great tit, Carrion crow, Meadow pipit and Curlew.
We completed the walk quite a bit earlier than usual, almost too early for some of us to be allowed home! Thankfully the Brit was ready to come to our rescue!
For those not invited to B's birthday party, after walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
