Moel Famau has been on my radar for a while.
I've lived in Liverpool for a fair few years now and throughout those years I have heard more and more about the 'Scouse mountain' that everyone in this city and its wider region simply has to conquer. So with a rare day off in the week, myself, my wife, her parents and my dog decided it was time to take the ultimate Scouse rite of passage.
Moel Famau, which means 'Mother Mountain' in Welsh and is the highest summit in the Clwydian Range, rising up to 554m (1818ft) at its highest point. This means it is classed as a hill rather than a mountain, even if it may feel more like the latter to ageing journalists as they wheeze their way up after a few too many beers the evening before.
