Moel Gyw & Moel Y Plas

Back to Moel Gyw, but with a twist. Adding on part of a walk to Moel y Plas to make one big walk taking in more Moels than you can shake a hiking pole at.

Still very hot, sunny and dry, but with a sudden howl of wind near Moel Gyw so we avoided that particular bit. Lots of birds around, including a lucky spot of a Redstart.

Tegg's Nose

Revisiting Tegg's Nose after nearly a year and a half. As usual, a roasting hot, sunny day. We spent a long time on the first descent with lots of rain-drops on the foxgloves, Redstarts and a family of Stoats! We could have stayed there all day.
