Looking back on the well-preserved section of Offa's Dyke.
The same view from our lunch spot in 2016.
On the move walking average: 2.5 m.p.h.
Overall walk average: 1.9 m.p.h.
Temperature: Around 8 Celsius for most of the walk. Mx 10.5 Celsius. Min 7.7 Celsius.
Beaufort Wind Force: 0 – 4. In the main, just a Light breeze, but it did gust to a 16.1 m.p.h. Moderate breeze as we crossed the more exposed and higher sections of the walk.
Group: Martyn and Mike.
The weather forecast today was looking dry with some Sunny intervals, so we were hoping to see the partial eclipse around 11-00 (paper with a pin hole at the ready).
With think we managed to catch the partial eclipse using the pin hole in a piece of paper and catching the image on another piece of paper, but the image was very small, so maybe not!
It was in 2016 when I last did the walk, so it was almost like a new walk for both of us.
Part of the walk was along a well-preserved section of Offa’s Dyke alongside a woodland.
Distant views weren’t very clear, but we could still see the Berwyns on the skyline as we had our lunch break.
We did see more lambs today, and unusually we saw one you with two lamb, one black, one white, both suckling at the same time.
Another surprise today, was seeing the amount of storm damage along the north side of Caemor Wood.
Birds seen or heard today: House sparrow, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Jackdaw, Common blackbird, Carrion crow, Chiffchaff, Blue tit, European robin, Common buzzard, Great tit, Woodpigeon, Raven, Shelduck, Jackdaw, Red kite, Skylark, Greenfinch, Song thrush, Mistle thrush, Mallard, Blue tit, Great tit, Common pheasant, Eurasian curlew and Wood nuthatch
Much of the walk was on hard surfaces, tarmac or stony tracks, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the walk.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Pant-yr-Ochain at Gresford. It was very busy, and we were asked to move from the empty table, because they wanted to lay-up the table for someone else. They said we should have booked in as we came in. We ended up sitting on bar stools at the bar. Perhaps we will have to think of a different hostelry for refreshments in the future!
