Mount Snowdon in the clouds |
Was in the Snowdonia National Park the other week for Akoustik Anarkhy co-founder AC's stag do - a day of mountain ascending, rambling, swimming and generally checking out a very scenic part of the world.
Various photos below...

...visibility could be described as low... |

**BONUS MOUNTAIN TRAIN PHOTO SPECIAL**
Although we didn't get it up or down, the Snowdon Mountain Railway looked very impressive as it sped past us on the route down.
So that was that - Snowdon and the weather conquered, well worth a visit.
If you're not feeling up for the climb you can always jump on the train and have a beer at the summit bar (quite a few were...)
Would definitely recommend a trip to the Penceument Tea Room, located at the foot of Snowdon as you enter the village of Betws-y-Coed.
Stopped by Llandudno beach on the way back for a quick swim, by which time the weather had turned to something approaching summer...
