Corndon Hill from Mitchell's Fold SO 30367 98390 (BBC Page or Wiki Page ) stone circle
Some later pics of the circle can be found here
It maybe a Megalithic standing stone but if your bums got an itch you just have to scratch it ! I think if we took our little lad up there it wouldn't be standing much longer !

Moel Sych (2713 feet) SJ 06630 31855
Cadair Berwyn (new top 2723 feet) SJ 07223 32720
Cadair Berwyn (2713 feet) Denbighshire County top (Sir Ddinbych) SJ 07165 32350
First time up the Berwyns since school , it was a good job there was fog on top on the way up or I might have had second thoughts !
At 240ft the highest waterfall in England or Wales
(With a cafe and Toilets at the bottom if you don't feel like the steep bit !)

From Cadar Berwyn New top looking towards Moel Sych
On the Way back down the fog lifted just long enough to get a shot of Cadar Berwyn.
Finale one for the month was an easy one,
23 March 09 ~ Castle Ring, Cannock Chase 794 feet.SK 04500 12800
With the car park at the one end of the ring this was an easy one but with a knee still playing up from the previous week it was an easy option!
As hill forts go this one is well defined with almost all the trees cut back to highlight the circle. A "low deff" trig point at the far end of the ring (from the car park)
