Snowdonia Mountain Railway

Woke up to another grey and windy day.

After breakfast we headed off to Llanberris to the Snowdon Mountain Railway. When we arrived we had a few sharp showers. We had tickets booked for the 14:30 train. We had a coffee and bag of crisps whilst we waited. 



By the time we boarded the train the sun had come out and we headed off up the mountain. The scenery was spectacular and we were surprised at the amount of people walking up. It takes an hour to get to the summit.

As we neared the summit, unfortunately we went into clouds at the top. They say that on a clear day you can see Ireland but unfortunately today you could see nothing at all. I walked up the last few yards to the actual summit. It was very cold and windy and a little bit scary coming down the wet steps.



We only had half an you at the top which would be ok today but on a clear day and if you wanted a drink or bite to eat would not be long enough.

We headed off down and into the sunshine again and it turned out to be a lovely evening. 

On the way back we called in at Harlech and had a lovely Chinese meal at the Golden Inn Restaurant, not far from the castle.
