Welcome to Cuddly Koala's Blog

Hello all and welcome to my blog, I am Julie and been hiking since a teenager and on family walks before that. I was once very serious about my walking but life changes and I have been away from the hiking scene for 15 years. In 2011 I restarted the interest and will be sharing my adventures with my companion, Lady, she is a Flat Coated Retriever.

Lady and I will hopefully be hiking in the Peak District, Lakes and Snowdonia.


Wildlife Photographs

I have a very keen interest in nature and some of my photo's will be seen here.


European Goldfinch
A very poor quality picture due to a very dull day, double glazing and using the digital zoom.  We have a pair of Goldfinches that visit us every day in the garden, they are such beautiful birds but extremely nervous.
