Daft is as daft does and some people are really daft! :?
We visit Llandudno regularly and haven't witenssed any dafties,but nothing surprises me where people are involved!

BTW have you seen the size of those goat's horns :shock: ?
I wouldn't go chasing one round the cliffs on the Orme for a selfie,not for a gold clock!

Not to my knowledge on both counts :?

PS, if there is do they have goats with HUGE horns?

PPS,I doubt it,which leads me to think Mick you should know better,BTW do you like a selfie with a wildlife setting?

There is a Little Orme across the bay from the Great one.
Orme can be translated as worm, and there is a Worm's Head in South Wales, which reohn is likely thinking of.

We ran into,not literally,some 'wild' goats in the woods on the Eastern side of Loch Lomond when riding the West Highland Way 20 or so years ago.They were not particularly friendly and they did not like us or our bikes :shock:

I'm not at all surprised by this story given the amount of folk who fall to their deaths getting selfies on cliffs at various locations around the globe :roll:

There is another herd of goats on the cliffs of Glyder Fach, above the Ogwen Valley.
I once saw a billy standing on a pinnacle jutting from the cliff, bellowing his dominance around the cwm.

They are partial to the argan trees of Morocco by all accounts.

It's not even the size of their horns that should put the wind up you, it's their strength. I was up close to goats in the Galloway Forest Park a few years ago, just a fence between us, one of the goats butted the fence and I was glad it didn't butt me - the force was frightening!

Quite sure they're harmless and docile unless they're cornered or desperate or whatever, but you wouldn't want to test it out.
