Cant wait to go back:) :)
pretty spectacular photos there, looks like good weather.
That does look stunning Andy, I was going to ask where's the canoe until I saw that last one.
There's nothing better than a paddle in glass like conditions, as I'm sure you found out.
Care to offer up anymore info on the location or is it one you'll be keeping to yourself ?

Nice photography was that just a compose and shoot or did you use the hyper focal focusing style?

Fantastic! Great shots. I've driven past that site many times (on the way to the FC site at Beddgelert) and it has always looked inviting - didn't realise they let you have a fire - I'll have to give it a go. Do you need permission to canoe on Llyn Gwynant?
breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. I don't have more words to say :)

fantastic shots that lake and the stream by the side of the campsite made a big impression on me as a kid. It was the start of a very long love affair with the mountains canoes and the great outdoors i was there last week and it didn't look like that
Very good pics mate, looks like a nice place to camp.

Stunning photos my friend, if only you could jump in the screen!! The camp also looks great. Very similar to set ups I've done.
You should be well pleased with the pictures, and you should definalty get some blown up, and have them displayed proudly in your house!

Absolutely Stunning!
At first I thought is was Scandinavia somewhere! Gonna have to get myself a canoe now...
Wow great to see those pics, I used to go there with my dad every year when I was a kid, when it was just a few fields, you could have a fire for free, you were allowed to collect firewood, pretty much do whatever you wanted. No one really seemed to know about it either, just the hardcore outdoor types.
It seems a lot more commercial now, last time I was there was about 2002 with my gf at the time. And it seemed like you had to pay for everything
Beautiful place though, I used to swim in the river next to the footbridge. Amazingly clear water, you cold see the fish swimming about. Many happy memories of that place.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :)
