A weasel is weasily identifiable, whereas a stoat is stoatally different.

First pics by road are definitely stoat

One on fence is a possible Marten but unable to define with the picture angle snd quality

Pine martens are cat sized and can frequent gardens for cake etc at bird tables where they are present. Had a very very noise family take up residence in the garage roof void and later one got stuck in my mother in laws central heating flue in Argyll - not your usual engineer call out for the boiler not working!! Seem to help keep any grey squirrels at bay too letting the reds thrive.

So here’s some pics of it but can you see it in post above! They move so bloody quick and super rare to see.

Well done, you were very lucky to catch sight of it.

Did the circular walk around Cheddar Gorge this morning (quite challenging). Had almost finished and spotted our Cali in the distance (Cheddar CandMHC site).

We were here Mon 31st may, lovely little site. Didn't have enough time for the gorge as we were just one night on way to Cornwall but will come again.

Yes nice little site. Facilities all open with some Covid limitations but no queuing so far
Some drama when we arrived. The guy in front of us with a large caravan (looked brand new) did a sharp left turn just past reception and the tail end of his caravan swung round and hit the post with the sensor for the barrier. Trashed it and took the corner off his caravan! He panicked and in moving dug it in even more and took the rear light off!! We felt for him - very expensive mistake. If you see a caravan with a mile of gaffer tape on the rear offside being towed by a BMW - it’s him.

All packed up ready to head home after a week away.

Weather forecast didn’t promise fog and mist at a South Wales Gower campsite.

22 mile cycle ride from Cheddar to Yatton and back. Route follows the disused Strawberry Line railway. Good ride with only a couple of short stretches on a road and mostly flat. Good 1/2 day trip - recommended

Love the Gower. Torbay between Oxwich and Three Cliffs is a favourite.
A Joe’s Ice Cream is mandatory when visiting Swansea

Relaxing after todays Corbett, Glen Dessarry and Glen Pean are moody Glens that often dont conform to weather forecasts. Today was no exception !

Let’s see a better view than that, did you get chased up by them pesky midges? Was it very busy?

He never saw it, had just done a nice long walk.

It was quite windy at the base so thankfully that kept the midges away ... but wind at the base meant a hoolie at the top - fog, rain, and the wind throwing the snow from the ground at your face when descending ... made it ... Should I say - a bit more challenging than normal

As the weather forecast was not great at the top, the crowds were quite thin. Despite that, you still get the few who go up in sneakers, t-shirts and shorts

A lovely climb nevertheless.

Was my wife's challenge for her 50th - do all three peaks in the year ... And for a person who is not into any endurance activities, this has been a great achievement. All three peaks done before her 51st birthday today

And as always, the Cali made a great base vehicle.

Looks very quiet, well done. Separate and relaxed is the best way.
Been involved in a team guiding parties of up to 60 up there, sound like it will be busier this season !

Amazing for the soul being in the mountains.
Well done to both of you

Weekend spend local, this time in the great Ribble valley. Lovely CL called acre hill farm, hens and duck eggs available. Only £14 a night!

Also got to try out my new cadac with a couple of ambitious ribeyes!

Would highly recommend walking around the wildflower meadows at slaidburn and a drink by the Ribble in Sawley.
