This was another lovely day for walking from beginning to end. It's always good to walk along the coast at this time of the year, especially when there are blue skies and the Great Orme is bathed in sunlight as it was today. Despite few protests and a little reluctance we set of on a new approach to the summit of Cefn yr Ogof, and all agreed that this path was a better approach than the one attempted in March by some of the group. We lunched as usual on the flanks of Rhyd-y-foel before setting off across fields to Gop Wood. We arrived back at the car with the Sun shining brightly and temperature the warmest of the day.
Birds seen or heard today included: Pied wagtail, Stonechat, Linnet, Meadow pipit, Carrion crow, raven, Black-billed magpie, Jackdaw, Robin, Wren, Black-headed gull, Common gull, Herring gull, Lesser black-backed gull, Oystercatcher, Mallard, Mute swan, Redshank and Curlew.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britaaniai Inn at Pentre Halkyn where the Lees bitter was at its best and quaffed with relish.
