Weather forecast was for showers, but this turned out to be a glorious sunny day, getting better as the day progressed. This walk is always good, but today was superb, the views in all directions were magnificent. There is nothing better than walking on days like this. It makes up for days like last Saturday!
We finished the walk at the Three Pigeons at Craigfechan, a pub that in the past has never been open when we finished the walk. We got there at five to three, only five minutes to closing time. It was enough time to get served! We sat basking in the sun in the garden outside and all raised a toast to Sue who had funded our celebrations on this occasion. We could have stayed much longer, but alas the bar was shut!
Birds seen or heard today included: Redstart, Meadow pipit, Stonechat, Raven, Buzzard and Kestrel.
The highlight of the day was a pair of foxes on the summit of Moel Accre, most of us saw one only Dave saw two!
On our return to Pentrecelyn one of the locals commented that she thought we were starting the walk rather than finishing it as we looked so fresh! What we looked like and what we felt are two different things!
