    To be fair, West and North Wales had quite a dumping of rain at the start of the month. Just the other (west) side of the Cambrians from me is a very different (greener) landscape to what I have here on the east side (parched and dry). I would imagine Snowdonia is greener still as they caught even more rain.
    The FR have also implemented quite an elaborate fire strategy consisting of maximising power to weight ratios, utilising some diesel assistance and also fire prevention water bowser trains.

    Worth noting that the people who complain about over interference from Government and 'Nanny State', are often the first ones to complain about lack of Government action and public information when something goes wrong..

    'Common Sense', so often quoted as the ultimate human safeguard, is actually a very rare commodity.
