Moel Hiraddug ahead, but not for some time, hopefully the low cloud will clear! 
It must be Bluebell season! 
Clychau'r gog / Croesor haf - but the're not all blue! 
At the trig point on Craig Fawr, not exactly sunbathing!Walk stats: 10.3 miles; Climb:1579'.
Time:5 hours 25 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.3 m.p.h.; Overall walk average: 1.8 m.p.h.

The weather forecast was a little iffy to say the least, but in the end we got a way with it! In the main it was damp and humid, but the threat of any "real" rain didn't materialise!
For much of the walk, including lunch on Moel Hiraddug, mist accompanied us.
Thankfully after lunch we even had a view from the Northern edge of Moel Hiraddug over the quarry Dyserth and beyond to Prestatyn and the coast.
Flowers today included: Bluebell, Early Purple Spotted orchids and Cowslips.
Birds seen or heard included: Common starling, Blackbird, Song thrush, Mistle thrush, Collared dove, Woodpigeon, Wheatear, Barn swallow, House martin, Blue tit, Great tit, Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Willow warbler, Great spotted woodpecker, Green woodpecker, Woodpigeon, Collard dove, Robin, Wren, Carrion crow, Black-billed magpie and Herring gull and maybe Richard and Roger's owl!
After walk drinks, as ever, were enjoyed at the Bitannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn. The Lees biter today was particularly good, but I wasn't driving!
