Are they still with us? 
Do we really have to go that way? Some don't seem so sure!Walk stats: Distance: 13.0 miles; Climb:1216'.
Time: % hours 58 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.5 m.p.h. Overall walk average:2.2 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Richard, Gordon, Annie H, Phil, Dave J., Celia, Fran and Tito.
Not the best of weather forecasts, but at least there wasn't too much rain to be expected. On this occasion they seemed to get it right and we only experienced a few spots of rain just after lunch. This was supposed to be a butterfly spotting day, but it wasn't sunny enough for most to make to the air, but at least we spotted a dozen or so!

This walk can be quite muddy and boggy in places, but today we can be thankful that at the end of the day, our boots don't have to be cleaned unless it is a ritual that you do so!
A good walk, but there again I am a little biased, I just like walking in the Halkyn Mountain area!
Birds seen or heard today included: Yellowhammer, European robin, Black-keaded gull. Black-billed magpie, Barn swallow, Swift, House sparrow, Raven, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Blue tit, Great tit, Woodpogeon, Chiffchaff, Collared dove, Winter wren, Common whitethroat, Stonechat, Skylark, Common starling and Buzzard.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Pentre Halkyn, where there was some debate as to whether the the first pint or the second pint of Lees was the best! In reality they were both good!
