15:4093498Hello one and all again.
I got back from Wales yesterday tired out after a 7hr coach trip and I think I'm just about with it for now.
What a cracking week it was too and the weather again was better than Kents.
Lake Padarn, The KMC sits half way along on the left hand side.
Half way up Carnedd Y Filiast, About minus 12 with 50mph winds and blizzards.

Monday morning at breakfast 49 females singing happy birthday to me, and my team ( team Snowdon ) sang it again on the summit of the Mountain.
Good company Peter but had to wait til yesterday for the ale.

22:0993583Hello Ian. Seems you enjoyed yourself in Wales.
When I was in Swansea, I noticed that the majority of people there speak Welsh.
Have you been to Bryn Celli Ddu?

The Electric Mountain with the main lake at the bottom and Snowdon in the back ground ( covered in cloud )
On the side of Electric Mountain walking through the old slate cutting area, a sight to behold.
I don't want to bore you all but if you would like to see more photos just let me know and I'll do some more.
