The Snowy Summit of Snowdon

Back at Llanberis station we learned that the train was delayed by half an hour so we had to wait around for a bit hoping that the grey clouds would not turn into rain. However, we were lucky and the journey up to the summit was pleasant and dry. The trains are small and ride on a rack railway line so they do not move terribly quickly but make their way steadily up the mountain. There were excellent views of the surrounding mountains with their craggy peaks and slate covered slopes. At the summit we had excellent views all around and even had some snow falling on us while there was sunshine all around. We spent 30 minutes at the peak before hoping back on our train and making the return trip. Once back at the station we made our way to the B&B, stopping at the Royal Goat Inn along the way for a dinner of welsh lamb casserole.
