ONLY MOUNTAIN in the UK over 1000 metres

FOR us SNOWDON was a challenge ! We were  all

YEAR we climbed it by different routes in all weathers ! 

 

FOR the bucket & spade brigade there were

A PLETHORA of sandy beaches North ~ South & West

HEARING the lilt of the WELSH Language and the

ENCHANTING harmony of the WELSH Harp & Choirs

In LIVERPOOL we were at the CROSSROADS of Four Nations

ENGLAND but with a Scouse accent & attitude WELSH ~ Song

that the UK was a Four Nation Melting Pot ~ United in One

Kingdom but very divided and competitive in Rugby Union !

If you plan to visit the UK be sure to spend time in Wales ~

Scotland & N Ireland as well a England.  Each Country is very

distinctive in Accent & Language ~ Culture ~ Dress ~ Climate
