After Plas-gwyn mountain I headed out on a fp to the Nant road and then followed it west hoping to climb a fp near a property but ended up in their upper garden, however a short track through the trees took me to a lovely track then footpath that climbs up to near the top. I think the Gorse might be a touch higher just to the Sw. Found some great orange-yellow jelly fungi growing in abundance in the more dense patches. Headed over to North top that is a lovely place with nice outcrops. Had a well earned rest here with coffee and a sandwich, looking over to my last hill of the day and my Flintshire completion on Pen-Llan-y-gwr...Dazingdale11/02/2024
