    Ruthin

    Well I wasn't leading yesterday and the poor leader got 'lost' shortly after starting. I could tell from my GPS we were going round a loop (but its best to keep quiet unless there is a danger). Then at a point after lunch he decided to head back but a few others didn't want so I took them over. My sub-group did nearly 12 miles. Some ups and some downs. Weather stayed just okay (edge of a weather system that meant a few miles north stayed wet all day).

    1. Looking back leaving Ruthin

    In the distance you can see Moel Famau (1818') with the Jubillee Tower. This is the Clwydian Range.

    2. As part of getting lost we came upon a field of these

    It and its mates came running over to us.

    3. Signs often amuse me


    4. Bridge at Telpyn

    (I guess with a bit of PS'ing I could remove that telegraph/mains wire)

    5. Railway remains at Ruthin

    The Former Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway. Chester General to Corwen. Closed 1962. I probably travelled on this line at least once in the days of real trains (as a loop through Wrexham and Llangollen).

    6. Finally in failing light


    As usual the 40D and 17-40L. Some of the above at ISO400 as the light was quite poor at times.

    Again any techical blunders (photos or narrative) then please tell.

        Nice photos MX5, I drove through Ruthin on my way home last Friday.
        I also drove through horseshoe pass to Llangollen. A nice part of the world.

          Thanks Muscat, David and Stephen.

          Stephen - Horseshoe pass is a very nice driver’s road ... nice to see you selected a splendid route back home. Ruthin (and other Welsh market towns) are very nice places ... and the Ruthin area seems very prosperous.

            Nice images MX5, must have been hard bitting your tounge when going in circles, shame you didn't share the weather we had in the south yesterday. although it may have been a bit warm for 12 miles.

              LOL "Free range children" - good sign, should be used more often.
