Snowdon |

Herding Nutters is slow and hard work. Get them all ready then one Nutter will
insist on having another cup of tea. Eventually, by midday the convoy is on its way to
Snowdon. We stop of on the way to Snowdon by Llyn Gwynant. There are excellent views - sunny and clear. We get to the railway station at Llanberis where you can get a train up to the peak. But the trains are booked up! You need to pre-book train tickets.
Next time we’ll know! We weren’t all kitted for walking, so Snowdon will wait for another day. We have lunch at the Electric Mountain Visitors’ Centre, a few yards up the road from the railway station. |

We take a Ffestiniog
train from Tan-y-bwth to Porthmadog. The track is within the Snowdonia
National Park with some very rugged and beautiful mountain scenery. We have a mammoth Tesco’s shopping session in Porthmadog. (15 year old single malt is purchased. Jennifer demands the best.) The Nutters head back down the coast, Matthew and I divert for pint and
wander around Barmouth. |
