What are they looking at?
It's me!
The perfect lunch spot for a mutineer!
One of the stars of the day!
Richard's mast!
Yes, today's weather was really this good!Walk stats:12.4 miles; Climb:2225'.
Time 5 hours 39 minute; On the move walking average: 2.6 m.p.h.; Overall walk average:2.2 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Tim, Celia, Fran and Tito, Michel and Sue, Gordon, Annie H.,, Sylvia and Dave J.
The highest number of walkers for the year. Thankfully the weather was so good! This was a wonderful walk, even if I did get it a week early! Lots of ups and downs and very little mud! The sun was wonderful the variety great, the views magnificent. The route finding was good except when our resident member decided had to be called back as he was going down the wrong path!
The lunch spot proved a problem, no suitable spot could be found at the appropriate time. we almost had mutiny amongst the ranks, but all ended well! Sue Pelissier even provided everyone with a piece of homemade short bread (Burns week), not good for the after Christmas diet, but superb to taste, an indulgence not not feel guilty about! Thanks sue.
Birds seen or heard today included: Robin, Wren, Carrion crow, Rook, Magpie, Jackdaw, Blackbird, Buzzard, Raven, Chaffinch, Blue tit, Great tit, Mallard, Coot, Little grebe, Woodpigeon, Collard dove, Nuthatch, Magpie and Starling.
After walk drinks were at the Britannia Inn, Pentre Halkyn where the Lees bitter was in excellent form.
Don't forget Thursday 5th February we are having a meal there, two courses for £5 before 6 p.m. (An offer we couldn't miss and no need to stop for lunch!)
