Vale of Clwyd High Lights

I woke on Friday morning to rain and howling wind hitting my window after funnelling up the valley. I had planned to get outside somewhere after an indoors kind of few days at work.
So...the not so obvious option grabbed Tim and me and we headed for Bwlch Pen Barras with Pippin to go for a blast up Moel Famau.
As we walked up to the Moel (meaning baldy head in Welsh) and looked across the Vale it was sandwiched between a sky that was boiling and falling down and a dark boggy mountain.





I felt as if I was in a tupperware lunch box and the owner was peering in the lid to see what was for lunch.
Hillfort

Moel Famau is the highest hill in the Clydians hills and  many of them are crowned with hillforts. Moel famau means Mother Mountain.

  2. I didn't know that Pippin could swear in Irish?

  3. ...no he can't swear ...but he makes me swear when he steals my bikkis.
