South Lakes Wild Animal Park

We had visited here to hopefully get some nice Tiger photos, unfortunately they were well hidden, but the magnificent Lions were great to photograph

First Snow of Winter on Snowdon

Yesterdays walk was meant to be the Snowdon Horseshoe, we by-passed Crib Goch due to the wintry conditions, snowline was down to about 600m, and despite the clag it was a stunningly, cold and wintry day on Snowdon and back down via Y Lliwedd.
