Quest to Snowdon Mountain - part II
Most people think that going down is easier than coming up since you don't have to make that big of an effort. Wrong. Going down is a more physically straining feat than going up because of gravity. Climbing down means you have to fight against the ...
Quest to Snowdon Mountain - part I
Another long weekend came along and even though money was a little tight, we decided to pull one of our short UK road trips. I personally couldn't wait for the weekend to arrive as the lack of activity at work has made my days increasingly tedious ...
In Search of Forest Elves and Pixies
... our way, so we positioned ourselves to get a glimpse of the old steam train with its white puffs of smoke. Llanberis was and still is a mining town, so these old steamers which were now turned into picturesque tourist rides were most probably once ...
Snowden to Stonehenge
... Wales - 1080m: highest peak in Britain (I think Ben Nevis, Scotland is highest in UK) - Obligatory little town at base: Llanberis-more tourists than residents! - 500,000/yr go to summit- some take the easy route on the train from Llanberis! You all ...
Splash!

Climb every mountain
Llanberis, Wales July 30 Day 10: Took a bus to backpacker's haven of Llanberis. Walked to campsite on sheep farm. Rain, rain, rain. The farmer here had a thick Welsh accent. Actually I think half of what he said was in Welsh. But still you ...
Y Garn
Ugly Troll and Sam went on a walk in Snowdonia. They got a bus to Llanberis and then, after waiting an inordinate amount of time, got another one up to Pen-y-Pass. They wanted to get off at a track part-way along the road, but, as it didn't have a name, ...
Catch Me If You Can
It has to be a macho thing, right? I mean the slope is something like 45 degrees, with great grey rocks sticking out of it at right angles; the grass and reed is held together with slippery mud but does that slow our illustrious leader down? Not a hope. ...
Roadtrip, North Wales
... roads were in good nick, no snow or ice to trouble us. We couldnt've asked for any better. First stop, Llanberis. Lunch (Cheese and Pickle Sandwiches) in Snowdonia National Park...Yay. Mildy disappointed that the mountain railway wasn't in action for ...
Snowdon (The Abort! mix)
... separate!) beds this time! So, if you are sitting comfortably, I shall begin our tale. Ugly Troll and Sam got the bus to Llanberis. Ugly Troll got off the bus, announced she felt a bit crappy, and then promptly threw up 4 times in the public toilet. ...
Wow! for Wales
... as it makes the journey in half the time. Back to Wales—we arrived at noon, got the rental car, drove to Llanberis—thanks to Jim for the pronunciation tips for Welsh—unlike any other language! Andy was impressed that he found town ...

Snowdon and ice on cheeks
Be warned, you have to set off early to ensure you get somewhere to park. However even at 8.30 in the morning the car park at Pen Y Pass was full and therefore we had to find a space about 2 miles down the road, meaning a bit of an uphill trek ...
Snowdon and beyond
Phew, I am exhausted. Don't even know how I am typing this - must be automatic. Have just climbed Snowdon, ?the highest peak in the UK, about 3500 feet I think, please correct me if I'm wrong. Can't believe that I keep putting myself through this ...
