This was my first visit to a 'Wolf Society' which is only open to members. Previously I have visited safari parks and zoo's but this is an entirely different experience.

If you want to get 'up close and personal' with a wolf you need to join one (or more) of the few wolf memberships around the country.
The UK Wolf Conservation Trust and the Anglian Wolf Society are two such places.

It was a reasonably long drive to get there - we decided to go across country and not round the M25 and it took just under 2 hours. As we arrived a little early we carried on up to a local village and bought some lunch from 'Budgens'. I must admit to being impressed with the security setup, there is in excess of £3,500 worth of CCTV kit which forunately has not had to be used for anything other than knowing when expected visitors are arriving.

There are two males, Cheza & Peyto, who have an enclosure of a little under 1/4 of an acre and at the moment they are in their testosterone period of mating. It also means that they are not too approachable except by the most senior of handlers. The enclosure can be split in half to allow people to work in one side at a time.

Conor, my son, took most of the photos which is why there is a lot of the fencing. There are photo holes cut into the fence which gives good photo oportunities.
