Northumberland and North Wales Holiday
Sunday 11th June 2017
This morning it was cloudy, drizzly and very windy but the forecast had said it would only be showers today. We were booked onto a 10:30 trip at Electric Mountain in Llanberis. We set off around 09:15 and got there around 10:10.
We booked ourselves in and had a look around the centre. At 10:25 out trip was called and we were taken into a small cinema for a film about the mountain before being taken onto the bus to begin the tour. During the tour we were taken deep into the mountain and shown each stage of the process. It was an interesting tour and glad we visited.
We had looked at pubs in Betws-Y-Coed for a Sunday roast so we made our way to the Pont-y-Pair Inn. The did a very nice roast and we even had a pudding! This afternoon we decided to have a look at the local climbing shops as Tim was after a new harness and I wanted to check out belay glasses. After Tim being sure they climbing shops were in Betws-y-Coed and we didn't find them I checked online to find they were both back in Llanberis!! We decided that as today was showery it was best to get the shopping bits done so we headed back to Llanberis!! It was successful though as Tim managed to get himself a harness and some rope and I got some belay glasses.
Also in one of the shops we were asking about suitable routes for some climbing, we got some good advice from them. On the way back to the cottage we decided to go via one places we had talked about and check out where the routes are. It was nice to have a walk even though we didn't have much of a view and was useful to check out the area. We passed a nice waterfall too.
This evening we had some dinner and then watched the film 'Everest'. Tomorrow we are planning to go climbing to the routes we checked out today.
