Deborah's Well, Around Moel Findeg and Big Covert 21st November 2018.

Looking West towards the Clwydians on the path to Gwernymynydd.
Is this what they call a face off?
Moel Findeg ahead, but not or everyone!
A Raven in a tree a tree headed South of the path on East side of Burley Hill Quarry,
Our sheltered lunch spot South of Big Covert

The sermon today is taken from ,,,,,,".
Our path Northward through Big Covert.
Ration Book memories at Cholomendy concerning  Liverpool and WW2.
Walk stats: Distance: 7.9 miles. 1000' (a little more foe Mike who took the shorter route  over Moel Findeg).
Group: Martyn, Roger, Mike and Wendy.
The weather forecast wasn't very good, but in fact we it was much better than expected and it it was only after lunch that we had a little sleet ans dampness in the air.
 Distant views today were allows shrouded in mist, but where  we were was always OK.
 The first surprise we of the day was to find the information board at Deboroh' Well missing, presumably it will be returned once it has been restored
 Lunch was taken near the road on the South side of Big Covert, where a fallen tree trunk gave us the perfect perching places,
 after lunch was just a pleasant stroll through Big Covert and he joining the Clwydian Way back to Loggerheads.
 Birds seen or heard today included: Woodpigeon, Eurasian jay, Black-billed magpie, Blue tit, Great tit, Coal tit, Common chaffinch, Wood nuthatch, Carrion crow, Raven Common blackbird and Common pheasant.
 The highlight of the day was seeing a Coal tit and soon after a Stoat crossed the field less than 20 metres in front of us.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Glasfryn, real fires in charge, and Pheonix "Back Bee Porter" the best brew on offer.
