Throwback Thursday!
This week I'm taking you back to my
trip to North Wales, way back in May 2007!
My Parents thought it would be nice to have a trip away to North Wales, since I was doing my GCSEs and going broad would be too much! So off we went in the car to Wales.
We stayed in a lovely Log Cabin that
had marvellous views over the Welsh countryside!

While we were there we decided to take a visit to the top of
Mount Snowdon! We took the train up the mountain, where there were, again, ever
more spectacular views! Until we got to the top where it was raining and
foggy! To travel to the top of Snowdon, you have to get the train from Llanberis.

The first was a copper mine, as we were walking through the mine, with our hard hats on, we were learning about the history and how they mined into the hillside. We also didn't realise that as we were walking through, how far up the hill we were starting to climb, until we came out at the top through a gate! |
