One of the best views of the day, looking across the Dee estuary towards the Wirral. 
Are we on the right road? Well we made it the right road
A welcome lunch spot, all grateful that we had found Fran!
Don't argue with these two, I don't think that they would hesitate to give you the brush!
Who's want to keep this lot in line!
Is this why we love walking in the Autumn - Damsons, much better than Sloes!Walk stats: Distance:12.5 miles; Climb:1427'.
Time: 6 hours 10 minutes; On the move walking average:2.5 m.p.h; Overall walk average:2.0 m.p.g.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Annie H., Gordon, Sue and Michel, Sylvia and Dave J., Tito and Fran.
What glorious day for walking this turned out to be, almost wall to wall blue skies all day, plenty of sunshine and the occasional gentle breeze to cool us.
Once again we met several farmers that were happy to chat and appeared happy that we were walking across their land!
This was a very much an up and down walk, and our legs felts that we had climbed much more than the meagre 1427' recorded, if the effort needed to climb the steps at the Britannia Inn was anything to go by! This walk has in the past prooved to be a "mud challenge", but today we found the worst section had been concreted, making the approach to the wood almost delightful! In fact all of the sections through woodland were good today. A superb walk with only one really nasty stile!
Birds seen or heard today included: Buzzard, Carrion crow, Jay, Jackdaw, Blue tit, Great tit, Long-tailed tit, Robin, Woodpigeon, Nuthatch, House sparrow and Goldfinch.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn, a little later than usual, but very much needed!
