Returning Saturday walkers.

The way to the start of the walk.
Walk stats: &.7 miles Climb: 1210',
Time: 3 hours 56 minutes. On the move walk average: 2.4 m.p,h, Overall walk average: 2.0 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn, Mike, Celia and Jim. ( The most on a Saturday walk for some time).
We arrived at the start and it was still raining, not that hat we were expecting. Unusual when it comes to rain, Celia encouraged us to put o or gear and set off/.
Thankfully we did and we probably had less than an hour of rain all day! Disant views today were minimal, but all around us the Autumnal were displayed. other birds included
It was very windy as we arrived at our expected lunch spot, so we took a bridle path heading Borth west towards Pen-y- Gwely.
We did find a shelter spot , not with a a view, but otherwise everyone was happy.
After lunch it was in the main, a gentle descent imo the Ceiriog valley.
Birds seen today were very few and far between, except for the four dispaylimg Ravens near the end of our walk,
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the we at the Hand in Chirk, the only ale real ale brews on offer was one from the Salopian brewery,
Overall a good day out and my boots took about 10 minutes to clean when I got home!
