another good day for walking, no rain, pleasant temperatures on the main, but a little humid around the maize fields! this was a lovely varied walk, and on a good clear day would have provided some magnificent views towards Snowdonia. Unfortunately today distant views were somewhat hazy!. later views towards the Prestatyn and the coast were superb.
Lunch was taken alongside Coed Cwm, too early for some, too late for others!
After lunch we followed a section of the Offa'a Dyke Path that I have wanted to do for a long time, probably new to all of us!
Birds seen or heard today included: Barn swallow, Robin, Black-billed magpie, Nuthatch, Buzzard, Woodpigeon, Carrion crow, Teal, Goldfinch, House sparrow and Wheatear.
After walk drinks were enjoyed, as is often the case, at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
Two surprises today, the first a lovely photo album from Michel taken on my "Bus pass Celebration Day" and when a got home on the mat was a lovely card from Elaine!
