One I shouldn't include - taken by Richard. 
Another view of the 6 towards the end of the lunch - by Richard.
The Clwydians on a good day!
Lunch, just enough distance to keep an eye on them all!
Just one more stile, at least this was quite a good one!
Is there anyone there? Why did I take this photo, any guesses?Walk stats: distance:10.7 miles; Climb:637'.

What a glorious day for walking this turned out to be. Loads of sunshine, hardly any wind and out of the Sun a little on the cool side, perfect for me, still shorts weather!
Till lunch time, walking was superb, although we did have a short delay when Richard was sent to retrace our steps in a vain attempt to find Tito's glasses. Richard's renowned vision on this occasion didn't produce the goods!

Lunch was taken basking in glorious Sunshine with superb views to the Vale of Clwyd and beyond. This was the highest point of the day a great spot to en joy lunch and take in the vista!
Our return to Llandyrnog was marred by Maize fields that forced us, with difficulty to divert down to the road to avoid the alternative of following the desired path right through crop (no provision having been made to clear the route by the farmer!).

Even the second half of the walk proved problematic, but at least we can be thankful that by retracing our routes, Sylvia was able to find and re-unite Tito with his distinctive spotted hanky!

We were expecting to enjoy drinks at the Golden Lion in Llandyrnog, but unfortunately they were closed (15-45), but we had to return to our old favourite, the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn, where as ever the Lees Bitter was superb. What a bonus to end the day!
