Default Snowdonia Today

Once I had decided to skip the flying lessons from the guy in the ford escort today, I went for a bit of a spin around Snowdonia, and stopped here and there to take a few snaps . . .

below are a few, but there more here

Nah. Looks like capel curig to pen y gwryd then down towards llanberis and then a turn round to head back up and down towards beddgelert is my guess from the flickr pics
I think the wall is the pen y gwryd car park wall at the top of the pass which is on the way to (or from llanberis)

Pretty much spot on there matey, I especially liked the way you figured I'd turned back round from Llanberis

Someone buy that man a pint!

Dizzy, you were also correct, you stopped there on one of the NW rides, NW3 perhaps?

For a giggle, I went out that way late the other night. Pitch black it was with no traffic. Nice to sharpen responses.
