Having seen Jan’s posts about her 6+ mile hikes I admit to being a teensy bit apprehensive when we made arrangements to go for a walk on Conwy mountain. I’m more of a three (or four… possibly…on a good day) miles, and mostly on the level walker.
After going round, up and over, the pedometer app on my phone told me we’d done just over six and a half miles and climbed the equivalent of 79 floors! So, does that mean I qualify as a (mini) mountain climber?! ;-D It was definitely worth it, and a walk I’ll do again.
The views were incredible from all directions.

And Conwy far below..
Jan’s photo of Finn to finish off. I think he enjoyed it too!
Fabulous! The colours of the heather are gorgeous too 🙂

We didn’t look our best, it was so humid. I definitely had a bad hair day!

This looks like a beautiful hike Cathy and the heather is still so vibrant in colour. So nice you went further than your ‘normal’ distance and that you and Finn enjoyed it too. Your photographs are stunning and thank you so much for sharing. Much love to you and Finn ☺🐾🐾

Thank you so much, Xenia. It was really lovely and definitely one to do again. It’s almost on my doorstep. Perhaps we’ll see the wild ponies next time. Much love back 🙂

Those photos are stunning – what a view! I think if I could ever hike 79 floors without noticing, I would definitely need a view like that to keep me going!

Thanks so much! Yes, the heather was lovely and we’d missed the best of it apparently. Must catch it in all it’s glory next year.

That one where you can see Conwy Castle far below makes me think of how it would have looked in medieval times, getting to the crest of the hill and being able to see the castle, without all the houses and other buildings. It looks sort of mystical!
