.





I shared a ledge with one of those great, great grandfather on the east face of Tryfan, I accused my mate of exercising his bowel in an all to familiar fashion until we realised that we were sharing the ledge with this rather 'high' local.


I thought they had long disappeared, good to see they are still in the locality.


I hope I have got his age right, remember part of a poem;


The horse and mule live 30 years
And nothing known of wines and beers.

The goat and sheep at 20 die
And never taste of Scotch or Rye.

The cow drinks water by the ton
And at 18 is mostly done.

The dog at 15 cashes in
Without the aid of rum and gin.

The cat in milk and water soaks
And then in 12 short years it croaks.

The modest, sober, bone-dry hen
Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at 10.

All animals are strictly 'dry':
They sinless live and swiftly die;

But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men "
Survive for three score years and ten.

And some of them, a very few,
Stay pickled till they're 92.

Love the poem  ;D

Often see the goats in the Glyders, more usually over the Tryfan end. There's also a herd on Snowdon that can often be seen around the Horns (I presume it's not the same ones). I think the Snowdon lot are the ones who often descend to Beddgelert and cause havoc in people's gardens!

There's a lot of them in the Dinorwig quarry and they stink to high heaven. You smell them waaaay before you see them. :o

Some brilliant photos, loving the ones around the Glyderau, Ogwen and Idwal.

A couple of oldies, Tryfan Sunset, October 2007, after a days good walking with my son, who was ten years old then.

Looking towards Fox Tor across the mire.

Had an afternoon ramble around Ennerdale Water today. Most of the pics wound up being about Pillar, but got a couple of others too.

Lovely pictures Hedgetrimmer with the autumn colours and the sprinkling of snow on the tops.

Thanks Ridge  :)

Been trying to capture the autumn colours for a while now, but haven't been lucky with the light on many occasions. The snow cap on Pillar was a bonus though, but wish I could've caught the cloud colouring in the setting sun better. Might be time I upgraded my camera.
