On one of the walks, still unsure on which way to go, but let's think about it any way! 
Richard's view of the day!
Mother and daughter?
Heading for Dolwyddelan - the last stretch!Walk stats: Distance: 9.3 miles; Climb: !500' (at an estimate).
Time: 4 hours 42 minutes; On the move walking average:2.5 m.p.h.; Overall walk average: 1.9 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Dave J., and Mike D.
This wasn't the wettest walk that we have had this year, but it came very close! At least it wasn't cold , although the very strong wind made the drive rain very unpleasant as we were on the summit of Pen y Benar, needless to say we didn't linger long as the views were non existent! Only in the Lledre valley did we get some sort of view, with Dolwyddelan Castle prominent on the hillside. This was a walk with potential and needs to be repeated on a good clear day!
This was another day for coming across "Star jelly", found by Richard on the road just a little further down the valley beyond the ruins of Ty Penamnen.
The second walk from Dolwyddelan to Pont y pant didn't have a lot going for it, although we did manage to check out possibilities for parking places near Pont y Pant, needed for walks in November.
Birds seen or heard today included: Robin, Chaffinch, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Redwing, Fieldfare, Housesparrow, Meadow pipit, and Blackbird.
after walk drinks were enjoyed, as is often the case, at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
