Pistyll Rhaeadr - was the start point for David's walk over the
Berwyns. The day dawned quite bright, but on the tops quite cold and
misty till we climbed down on the lower slopes. We did manage Cadair
Berwyn and Cadair Bronwen but sadly no views.

Our thanks to David for leading us in a quiet corner of Wales,

I've had a couple of queries regarding people joining the group at
Chester railway station & getting the train back to Chester at the end
of the walk. Basically the walk should not take more than 5 hours
plus breaks so we should be back at Delamere in time for the 4.27
train to Chester if everyone in the group walks at a brisk pace. The
