A cold, crisp afternoon hill-walk to start the New Year
Distance: 9km; Ascent: 320m; Bright and sunny, but cold; with Lynsey
It was forecast to be a lovely sunny day, so Lynsey and I decided to go out for a short hill walk to celebrate the New Year. Foel Goch in the northern Arenigs looked to be a good option and this is where we headed. We set off walking along a narrow lane at around half-past midday heading for the open hills.

It was cold and crisp, but sunny as we followed the footpath up into Cwm Da and onwards to reach the fence along the ridge. Following this fence westwards, we reached the
trigpoint on the summit of
Foel Goch (Marilyn, Nuttall) at around 2:15pm. There were excellent views from up here today! Unfortunately my camera was broken (therefore the 4 photos in this post have been kindly supplied by Lynsey!)

We headed west for around a kilometre before descending to the south and walking back to the car after a very good afternoon walk.
