'Scouse mountain' perfect for an Easter climb that everyone in Merseyside visits

Walk up Moel Famau and chances are you'll bump into plenty of other Scousers.

ECHO reporter Rebecca Koncienzcy said: "Everyone from Merseyside has to climb it at some point. I remember walking up Moel Famau when I was in
