Early start – had to be at Earlsfield at 7.30am to meet Julia – I had to get up earlier than I usually do for work! She was running slightly late – but we were on the road by just after 8. The trip up was ok – no traffic in London – which is the good thing about leaving so early! Most of it was bog standard, but once you get to North Wales it gets so scenic. Windy roads, stunning scenery – and lots of rain!!
We went through Betws-y-Coed where Craig, Julia and I stayed when we did the Snowdon Horseshoe, so that was a nice trip down memory lane. We stopped for a very nice lunch there and just had to drop into one of the many outdoor shops that line the road… We are now proud owners of very cool boot bags ☺. Then finally we headed off on the last stretch towards Llanberis. We passed Plas Y Brenin – sparking much discussion about coming back to do a course there - very excited about that!
Craig, Sarah and the kids had got to the house slightly earlier than us so they were off doing the food shopping – great for us! The house was lovely. Finished to a much higher standard than the photos on the site would suggest – lovely big open plan kitchen and lounge area. Craig picked Finbarr up from Holyhead and then we were all set to go!
