4th February -- Denbigh
Lucky again with the weather in Denbigh, ground conditions were the worst we've had for a while, even so we all had a great time.
The A walk
started in			Loggerheads park
finding various carved				wildlife in the woods
Frosted foliage			and distant snowy peaks
			The snowy top of Moel Famau
		St Cynhafal's Church, Llangynhafal
			Scary horse!
Denbigh Castle			"Dr Hesketh, I presume?"
The B walk headed out of Denbigh through the pretty strip of community woodland then continued Westward to Efiviat Park. From there we turned South through Groes to join the river Ystrad at Nant-yr-hengoed and followed the river back to Denbigh.
Grand gateway to Community Woodland
The first of several thorny stiles
Beginning of Coed Shed ancient woodland			where lunch was taken
Dodgy bridge
Dodgy path		Dr J's riverside memorial..
			..and his cottage
		Vale of Clwyd and the Clwydian Hills
Denbigh castle			and ramparts
The C walk headed out of town through the community woodland "Mount Wood" and then meandered across Galch Hill towards Gwaynynog house where Beatrix Potter spent some time, then down to Dr Johnsons monument. On the way back it passed Dr Johnson's cottage (in need of some renovation and modernisation!).
A little mud does not bother us		Denbigh Castle
Early misty views				Approaching Gwaynynog

A fine afternoon			Nearing the end
