#18.BARBER'S HILL aka GERAINT'S HILL.19-3-12.

A short walk today to see how Julie get's on with her Plantar Fasciitis.Parking in the main car park in Llangollen on a very sunny day we crossed the A5 and took the footpath up through the tree's on our left.

This rises steeply up to the road near the thatched cottage.

We followed the road up to the next junction and turned right and got a glimpse of Castell Dinas Bran across the valley.

Leaving the road we took a path that rises above a small quarry.

We now left the tree's and were out into a field riddled with rabbit holes and absolutely smithing with load's of rabbit's,which fled in all direction's when they saw us approaching.The mast was soon reached.

At the summit we had a great view to the Llantysilio Mountain's.

Following the access track away from the mast we crossed the bridle path to follow a footpath in the direction of Bache Ganol.

This lead steeply uphill into a field with a view back to the mast.

Picking up another bridle path we headed down toward's Llangollen.

We crossed town for a visit to Plas Newydd's garden's.

This super little walk was 4 miles long with 1,100 feet of ascent.
