A hovering Kestrel at the start of the walk, probably a female,
Debating on the top of Trevor Rocks?
A moody looking Llantysilio Mountain Range.
The view from our lunch spot overlooking World's End.
The Ponderosa and the Llantysilio Mountains looking a bit happier.
Looking south owards the cliffs of the Eglwyseg Escarpments.

Major road works on the A483 around Wrexham and the first Llangollen exit and roundabout, meant bthat we had a late start to the walk.
Earlier frustrations were soon dispastched as we headed across the Trevor Rocks above the Monument and on across Eglwyseg Mountain towards World's End.
We had superb views of a Kestrel at the start o the walk, but this was surpasserd by heaering severa Cuckoos calling and seeng at least one and probably two near the Eglwyseg Plantation.
Views were pretty good, especially across the Eglwyseg Valley towards the Llantysilio Mountans.
Lunch was taken near Craig yr Adar, whee we all found suitable rocks on which to perch, with good views over World's End.
the clouds looked threatening at times, but we didn't get anything more that a few spots of rain
The return route along the top of the escarpmentas, never fails to impress as you look south along the escarpments.
Birds seen or heard today included: Common kestrel, Stonechat, Meadow pipit, Skylark, Willow warbler, Jackdaw Eurasian curlew, Raven and Cuckoo.
We arrived back at the cars, having had a superb walk and ready to celebrate at the Sun at Trevor. A Three Tuns Brew was quaffed by all, and my Oregon Pale brewed by Weetwood takeaway doesn't look like lasting very long!
