Looking down the path that we missed the first time on this walk from Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr.
Just retracing our steps to get on the Craig Bron Banog route.
A global warning experiment on Craig Bron-Banog.
The experimental area, weather stations and more
Lunch time at Craig Bron-Bonog, not quite the summit we were expecting, but at least Fran and Gordon had a bench to sit on!Walk stats: Distance:10.6 miles; Climb:1031'.
Time: 5 hours 3 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.5 m.p.h.; Overall walking average:2.1 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Gordon, Fran, Celia, Sylvia and Dave J and Georgie the Jack Russell.
A good day predicted in terms of the weather with a little chance of a shower. Temperatures in the twenties, no wind, a little too warm for me! The three spots of rain weren't enough to cool me down! thankfully it clouded over in the afternoon so the direct sunlight was avoided. Sections through the Clocaenog Forest helped too. Path finding was relatively easy, but the first section
after lunch was the worst when several trees had fallen across the path and detours weren#'t easy underfoot.

At least after reaching the outskirts of Pentre-llyn Cymmer, the route down followed the Afon Alwen!
Although a relatively easy walk, the warm humid conditions meant that most of us were glad that the walk was less than 11 miles!
Birds seen or heard today included:Willow warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Carrion crow, Buzzard, Black-headed gull, Wren, Garden warbler, Coal tit, Barn swallow, Mallard, Canada goose (one pair with three chicks) and Woodpigeon.
Butterflies seen included: Small white, Peacock and Clouded yellow.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the We Three Loggerheads Inn at Loggerheads, where Blacksheep bitter and Wells Bombardier were the beers enjoyed. Apparently the lager and tea were good too!
