This could truthfully be described as a perfect day for walking, wall to wall blue sky for 90 of the walk, hardly any wind and warm sunshine enough to make you feel good! Definately a hkorts day!
The main objective of the walk wasto include the start of the Huw Tom trail that we missed out last week, but that only about three miles of our walk.
We started the walk from Dwygyfylchi and headed for the beach and onto Penmaenmawr. it was over sixty years ago that I last set foot on this beach!
The view towards te coast were superb, wih the Irish Sea looking blue and distance clouds looking like a mountain range. everyone we saw out walking spoke to us, whether in reply or being the first to say hello. what a good uplifting day this was!
After visiting the top of Foel Lus, we descended to the Huw Tom Tail, and had lunch at the same place as last week, but thankfullthis tim t was in sunshine and there was no hail!
Birds seen or heard today included: Greenfinch, Herring gull, Common blackbird, Chiffchaff, European robin, Winter wren, Skylark, Meadow pipit, European robin, Willow warbler, Common buzzard, Wheatear, Carron crow, Jackdaw, Raven, Collared dove, Stonechat, Meadow pipit, Black billed magpie and Skylark.
We arived back at the start, having has had wha was probably our best walk inthe "Welsh Stay n Wales" directive in 2021.
