February 12, 2023,Hike to Moel Morfydd

Well signed posted and the path goes as far as the eye can see. As you can tell by the profile the 1st half is the hardest part, quite flat once you've got to the top of moel morfydd. Park your car opposite the cafe as there is no time constraints for parking. Route starts and finishes from the cafe.
