Lunch time by the Lledre. Only Celia smiling!
"We put the wind up those silly walkers didn't we? I bet they thought we'd chase them on the way back too!"
Ty Mawr - not quite ready for visitors! Roger in deep thought - what does that Welsh inscription mean?
Roger's Welsh homework, but he may need a little help from a friend!
One of the many wonderful views as we walked beside the Afon Lledre.
Roger having a senior moment - he claimed he was just appreciating the view!

This was another glorious day for walking, much sunshine, virtually no wind and with a really warm Spring feel! Considering that much of the walk was along forest tracks, the views at times were superb. The high peaks of Snowdonia capped in snow frequently came into view to delight us.
Ty Mawr at the head of Nant Wybrnant is a place that when we visit on the 27th March will open and we can visit the exebition on Bishop Morgan's work and the Bibles on display.
Lunch was taken alongside the Afon Lledre, no Dippers at this point, although Roger spotted a Grey wagtail.
The second half of the walk along Sarn Helen, wasn't the most enthralling of routes, being along a road and largely on forest tracks, but it did provide us with the best views of the day, especially of the sow capped Moel Siabod.
Birds seen or heard today included: Great spotted woodpecker, Robin, Blackbird, Blue tit, Great tit, Long-tailed tit, Wren, Chaffinch, Black-billed magpie, Jay, Grey wagtail, Dipper and Buzzard.
After walk drinks as ever were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn.
