Another glorious day for walking, sunshine and able skies call day, a pleasantly warm temperature and the only time we noticed the cool breeze was at lunch time at Y Graig.
No problem route finding today, although fallen trees at one point had to be negotiated.
approaching Bryngwyn Hall, we did have a problem with a few heifers, well it was the farm workers were having a problem trying to get them to go into the farm yard. Thanfully after about 15 minutes they succeeded and we managed to continue on our way.
as we headed across Cefn Ddu we had hazy views of Snowdonia, Moel Siabod and Tryfan were easy to identify.
Lunch was taken on the top of Y Graig, where two picnic tables allowed us to socially distance quite well.
Our next problem came on the path north of Craig Bach, always unpleasantly muddy, so in future we will use an alternative path to avoid the problem.
Arriving at Cae gwyn, two of the group took the slightly shorter direct route back to the start, The two J W Lees bitter reserchers continued on the original planned route.
On this latter part of the walk, e found that the muddy path leading to Usgebor, had now been by-passed to nthe west of the stream and now in the memort bank for future use,
We decided to include the Offa's Dyke Path across the side of Moel Maenefa and came across a walker sitting on a new seat with super views over Tremeirchion and beyond.
Birds seen or heard today included: Herring gull, Black headed gull, Common gull, Common chaffinch, Goldfinch, House sparrow. Woodpigeon, Common pheasant and Common buzzard.
We arrived at the Brit, glad to find it open, but disappointed to learn that they had just reopened (ne tennants) and the brewery hadn't delivered any Lees bitter.
By now it was 15-50, so we headed up the road to the Blue Bell which we knew opened at 16-00.
We were pleasantly surprised to see how much work had been done to make the area outside the entrance into a pleasant area to enjoy a pint of J W Lees bitter.
