At least someone looks happy! On the track below Fron Hen 
Threatening skies.
Investigating the cave in Big Covert.
On the limestone summit of Bryn Alyn.Walk stats:Distance:8.6 miles; Climb:1857'.
Time:4 hours 54 minutes; On the move walking average:2.3 m.p.h.;Overall average:1.7 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Fran, Celia, Tim, Gordon, Annie H., Sue and Michel.
We set off with threatening skies and Moel Fammau in cloud, we were optimistic that any raain would come in during the afternoon. It came earlier, but the odd shower was only light and thankfully they didn't last.
There was a little snow left in patches. but nothing to worry about, only wet limestone rocks were a challenge to us staying upright on the descent of Bryn Alyn.
We stopped for lunch a little earlier than usual. The location was at the entrance to the cave in Big Covert wood. Only Michel dared to enter!
The second walk as initially planned was abandoned as we decided to explore the western Bryn Alyn plateau, a delightful area that gives you a sense of being on top of the world.
Birds seen or heard today included:Blackbird, Black-billed magpie, Jay, Robin, Blue tit, Great tit, House sparrow, Herring gull and Jackdaw.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Glasfryn, where Cwrw Eryri was the beer of choice. The beer was a little cold, but the roaring fire was just what you want at the end of a good walk on cold day!
