Moel Arthur and Moel lLlys-y-Coed and Cwm Gain 3rd December 2009

At the top of Cwm Gain. just about to set foot along Offa's Dyke Footpath back to the car.
Moel Arthur, a real hill fort.
On the summit of Moel Arthur, the last peak of the day, but still someone is missing!
Walk stats:Distance:10.1 miles; Climb:2034'.
Time: 40 hours 40 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.5 .p.h.; Overall walk average: 2.2 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Richard, Roger, Dave J., Annie H., Fran and Nigel (today's bonus walker!).
If you listened to the weather forecast you well have stayed at home. However those that brave the initial rain, hail, sleet and wind were blessed by a lovely sunny afternoon as we traversed Moel Llys-y-Coed and Moel Arthur.
Fran, making what is likem a guest appearance, provided the group with their first mince pies of the season, all gratefully devoured!
Birds seen or heard today included : Black-billed magpie, Carrion crow, Raven, Jackdaw, Robin, Fieldfare, Blackbird, Redwing, Nuthatch, Kestrel, Buzzard and Bulfinch (bird of the day).
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre halkyn. Lees Bitter was good, but the Brewers Dark was even better!
