Mount Snowdon

Dolbadarn Castle
What is it with us? We woke up late again. It must be this mountain air or the evening wine. Anyway, today's weather looked a lot brighter and drier so we decided to go to the top of Mount Snowdon in the cog-wheel train.
We got our return tickets, which weren't cheap and since we had a few hours before our allotted time we checked out Dolbadarn Castle (pronounced car-sil ;-)  ) which is small ruined castle.

Fabulous Views
We got on our train and trundled to the summit. The views were stunning and you could see for miles. Good job we never went yesterday because I think we would have got fed up of looking through mist.

Us, 1084 metres up
When we got there we where given 30 minutes to have a look round and take photos. There is a warm restaurant and a few stalls but we went straight to the place which marks the summit. It was a bit crowded, windy and bitterly cold but you really couldn't complain about the views.
