Walking past one of the Wenvoe Wildlife Group orchards, people commented on the progress that had been made here and then walked north and west towards Dyffryn.<\/p>\n The sky which had been getting darker by the minute opened up and a deluge of hail descended on our heads. A few had umbrellas which were soon covered in ice with slush dripping off their edges. After cooling us down the shower passed on and the sky brightened a little only to be followed by another shower. Passing through a wood a flash of lightning was discounted momentarily but a rumble of thunder followed \u2013 at least the storm wasn\u2019t near us.<\/p>\n At Dyffryn the warmth and hot drinks available were very welcome and we stayed quite a while. Then we walked up to the A48 and through The Downs, across open land and back to the cars. A lovely walk enlivened by the weather. Distance about 5.5mile<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dyffryn The midweek walkers parked near the quarry man\u2019s tribute and kept south of the St Lythan Road.
