485 Moel Famau

2/4/10 Dave H Down in Chester visiting my mum so took the chance to bag a couple of points just over the border in Wales. I've done this run or a variant of it dozens of time - it's just 30 mins drive from Chester and usually gives some nice grassy running and great views out to Snowdon and to the Pennines. Not today though. Misty with lots of wet snow on the paths. The rather sinister looking tower at the top is the remains of a monument built (no doubt by a grateful peasantry) to celebrate the golden jubilee of George III in 1810. It must have been huge.
