A day in the high country with more fabulous October weather. Mick and I formed a splinter group and walked up Snowdon from Pen-y-Pass via the Miner's Track and a rather nice ridge to Y Lliwedd. It was a proper hike and felt properly remote - we even met a weird goaty creature - until we turned the final corner towards the summit and - behold! - a load of tourists in impractical clothing, carrying small dogs and waddling in and out of the massive café. It's a bit of a culture shock so pausing only briefly to see the train arrive from Llanberis, we high-tailed it to the Pyg Track for the descent and relative peace and quiet.
The rest of the family, meanwhile, took the Great Orme tramway out of Llandudno for more spectacular views of sea, sky and sunshine. We rounded off day with drinkies by a splendid sunset and a bonfire once darkness had fallen.
