Holywell to Glan-llyn

A new long distance path begins - the North Wales Pilgrim Way was chosen by Chris and although I normally shun Wales, it seemed only fair to follow one of his choices for a change. Not a great start - pretty boring scenery, too many stiles and lots of pasture and farm tracks. Hopefully it will improve as we progress
