Just Humans Being...

Snowdon is the biggest mountain in Wales... It is 1085 metres (3569 feet) above sea level. It has 6 footpaths to the summit, plus a train! Years ago we walked up the Miner's Track & down the Llanberis Path, which was about 9 miles altogether including some very scary scree climbing... This time we took the train, with the intention of walking it again before our holiday was over. Unfortunately, the walk never happened as the weather just wasn't good enough & the mountain was constantly covered in thick mist... So we purchased our very expensive tickets in advance in order to catch the 'Earlybird' train. The station forecast had been good for the day we chose, but as you can see the mountain was completely enshrouded... Although the scenery on the journey was wonderful...

Hello! We are having gale force winds, torrential rain & we had a power cut last night... We've lost our internet access on the farm too... It's still wonderful though & we're loving the extreme weather! 1085 metres up in the sky on Snowdon's summit! Bye for now, Kay, Sime & Hugo  xxx

For two weeks due to the need for time off... We're staying on this farm... In a beautiful part of Wales... See you soon! Kay, Sime & Hugo  xxx

In two weeks time, we are going back up to Stoke for a few days & then in just over 4 weeks - we'll be going on holiday. Two whole weeks in Wales... We're going to be renting a caravan on a farm at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Photograph From Here We used to go to Wales a lot many years ago. When Sal & Rose were 5 & 3 - we walked up & down Snowdon... It was an amazing, uplifting experience & the girls were fantastic walkers back then. Everyone we met on that journey - stopped to say how impressed they were with our little girls!
