The Walk has Begun - 17 Miles Done!

Well, we are back from the weekend walk, and it was fantastic!

Saturday morning, we set off from Southport at 6:30am for Prestatyn.
The Path officially starts at the beach, where both Daisy and Amber picked up a pebble each to keep for the journey until we reach the end where they'll throw it over the Sedbury Cliffs.
We walked to the high street where we tucked into a hearty english breakfast at Rumours Cafe. Many thanks for the patrons, who donated generously to Scope on behalf of Daisy.
Afterwards, it was a steep walk for a while, with beautiful views looking back over Prestatyn and the wind turbines at sea.
We stopped for lunch in Rhuallt at the Smithy Arms, special thanks to the patrons of the who contributed to Scope.
After lunch, we walked from Rhuallt to Sodom, a tiny outpost just outside of Bodfari. We spent the night at Fron Haul B&B, which was absolutely lovely. Thanks to the host who also donated part of the tariff to Scope!
All up, we covered 13 miles on Saturday.

Sunday morning we got off to a late start due to a problem with the transportation arrangements, but we were determined to get as much done as we could. We bumped into the Mountain Rescue team who were on a training operation. They gave generously to Scope and were happy to pose for a photo. Many thanks!
Climbing over the Clwydian Range was hard work, but we ran out of time to complete the section to Clwyd Gate, so we stopped just after Penycloddiau, which is the northernmost marilyn in the Clwydian Range.

We're all looking forward to next weekend, and we'll be busy fundraising this week!
