A modest dusting of snow on #Eryri today.
I kept warm underground, in an old copper mine!

Managed to take the dogs out in the chilly afternoon.
Elle is pulling left a lot for some reason, going to have to have a poke around her wheels and stuff and check nothing is loose or whatever.
Not looking for suggestions at the moment - I will check her nuts and bolts and stuff first.

Approaching #Ynysmon, and a lighthouse is visible in the distance in the 2nd picture, with some interesting exposed cliffs rearing up from the sea. The first picture of the Snowdon range covered in snow takes me back to my first ever serious winter walk as a student, the complete Snowdon / Eryri horseshoe, with no crampons or ice axe at the time, and leather boots which froze up. To say I was a little bit concerned about falling to my death on Crib Goch would be an understatement, but the pseudo-invincibility of youth held the day.

Off to #Holyhead today seen from the port of #Dublin, after a sparrowfart start from #Kerry, arriving far too early at the port and then being told the ferry was 2.5 hours
Once we get to the other side, a mere 3.5 hour drive, all being well on the hopefully snowfree roads of North Wales, to our destination near Birmingham.

A storm cloud looms over one of the ramparts round the vastest hillfort in #Wales, Penycloddiau, in the Clwydian Range. Taken last summer, I really thought I was going to get heavily p*ssed on, but it passed over and did so on the other side of the hills instead. #HillfortsWednesday #IronAge
In Welsh folklore, Peredur (Sir Percival) offended King Arthur's brother Kay when Peredur didn't notice Kay one winter's day. Peredur was enthralled by a raven standing in the snow. Its black feathers reminded Peredur of the hair of his beloved and the snow reminded him of her skin.

Girl, 15, drowned after she slipped and fell into River Severn playing with friends
The dinky chambered tomb of Maen y Bardd, 'The Poet's Stone', that stands beside the southernmost of two east-west (or west-east) prehistoric tracks through the #Conwy mountains of North #Wales. #Legend had it anyone sleeping in the cromlech would wake up either a poet or mad. #TombTuesday #folklore
waking up to the #news that leaked documents from the #MoD reveal locations for potential new #ArmsFactories in the so-called #UK.
"sites under consideration include parts of the #grangemouth industrial complex, the #finnart oil terminal on #LochLong, and locations in #cumbria, #teesside, #northumberland, #southampton and #wales".
in #teesside, i bet it's the old chemical site in #StocktonOnTees right next to a huge residential estate that has already been polluted for decades.
these arms factories are supposed to create a 1000 jobs in total, with the potential to kill many thousands more.
#GifsArtidote: #capitalist murderous greed, that's what it is, & we should not accept this & strongly resist these plans. 😡
affected communities should immediately set up resistance groups & develop positive, green, peaceful & community-led alternatives that create more jobs & develop these impoverished areas sustainably & healthily for everyone.
