Five hundred and eighty meters up in the air is the cairn on Moel Wnion. Sadly the ordnance survey planted their part time trig point in the middle of it, a large concrete block still occupies the cairns interior. I suppose the walking wallies have had a hand in its present state as well.
There should have been epic views all round, but alas the clouds closed in and reduced the views to about twenty yards. A visit should be combined with Cras and it's very near neighbour, for most rewards go in good weather!
