Reaching the summit
| 09:26 UK time, Wednesday, 2 September 2009
I hope you had a good bank holiday weekend despite the mixed weather. I went to Snowdonia for a few days staying in Llanberis and climbed Snowdon on Saturday via the Pyg and miners track.
It was very busy with lots of people going up and down but unfortunately the peak was shrouded in cloud, so I couldn't see much but there's always a sense of achievement in reaching the summit.
On Sunday I went for a much easier walk around Harlech but had to cut this short because the weather took a turn for the worse which was a shame because there is a great beach and the views are wonderful on a clear day.
Monday, I spent a few hours in Llandudno and the weather was drier and brighter in the shelter of the mountains with a warm, gusty wind.
I took the tram up the Great Orme and enjoyed great views.
After lunch I went for a stroll on the pier and then headed back to the car park arriving just in time, to find a traffic warden about to slap a ticket on my car!
I was only a few minutes over too...but promised him better weather, so he let me off ;)
The A55 was really busy heading east so on my way home so I took a detour, passing through places I'd never visited before such as Betws yn Rhos and Bylchau.
The B4501 road to Cerriydrudion through the Clocaenog Forest is a lovely drive passing Llyn Brenig.
