'It was three and a half feet tall, four feet long and the legs were about three to four inches thick'
A hiker has described being metres away from a 'big cat' in
Snowdonia.
Jacques Wood, 28, from Leeds, reached Crib Goch in the early hours of Saturday morning when he came face to face with the four-foot long silhouette.
Mr Wood said he set off from Leeds and travelled to north Wales at 2am on October 17, and started on his route at around 5.30am. But only 45 minutes later, he noticed he wasn't alone on the mountain,

He said: "I had only been 45 minutes into the walk before I came face to face with the big cat."
The hiker had stopped to have a drink of water and take off his jumper as he was getting hot. After adjusting his head torch, he saw something in the not-too-far distance.
