An interesting fungus on Hazel.
At the Bryn Pydew Obelisk.
A men's only walk, but who took the photo?
Not really, one of them took the photo at the obelisk.

The weather today, was a little on the damp side, not quite rain, but still feeling wet. Thankfully it wasn't cold and and the wak did finish with the Sun doing its best to shine!
Our first objective was to visit the Bryn Pydew Obelisk, that gave us "superb" views towards Conwy castle and the Conwy Valley.
Lunch was taken on edge of Coed Brungarth taking advantage of a few convenient stones to sit on and the trees to shelter from the "rain".
We didn't get any views until much later, when we could see the windmills off Abergele as we approached the woods East of Gloddaeth Hall, and then had glimpses of the Great Orme as we passed the West side of St. David's College.
Birds seen or heard today included: European robin, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Blue tit, Woodpigeon, Common buzzard, Dunnock, Eurasian jay, Barn swallow Goldfinch, Grey heron and House sparrow.
Flowers seen today included: Red clover, White clover, Creeping buttercup, Common dandelion, Harebell, Rock rose, Hedge bindweed, Great willowherb, Lord's and Ladies, Common mallow, Small scabious and more that may be added later.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn at Halkyn, where the Lees bitter was in agreeably good nick!
