Thanks to whoever thought of doing this, a great day at Llanberis for a few hardy Bongonaughts. Thankfully the weather was very favourable so a lovely day looking at some stunning scenery.


Sunrise over Llyn Peris


A quick zip up the Pass of Llanberis....


....to a view of Snowdon


Time for breakfast – HobNob creams


....and time to skim some stones....


....successfully


....and watch this dog in the lovely warm water


....with a view over Llyn Padarn....


....with divers in the water


Five Bongos – Team Muz, DebbiePritch, Hembramacho, LoopyLoo and BongoPlod


Into the National Slate Museum


Now that’s what I call a chainsaw


Muz Jr having a go at slate-splitting


....and Muzette having a go at punching the holes into roof slates


The biggest water-wheel in the land


Inside one of the quarrymen’s cottages

Look closely, there’s a geezer climbing up this rock face....


....this one


The old funicular railway






The famed Lady of Snowdon


Llanberis over Llyn Padarn

BongoPlod seems to have acquired a bunch of kids










Reflections of a cool day

[LoopyLoo]

Thank you all for making me and Chris (& Toby and Mia) so welcome, we had a fun day especially the convoy up to the viewpoint

It was great to meet you all, and Bongoplod and us had our own little convoy going on on the A55 on the way home

[T9sus4]

Wow, there are some stunning (and I do not praise photography lightly) pictures there! Fabulous scenery, reminds me that I haven't been to Snowdonia in far too long. Now that I have a Bongo, of course........

[Freddiexxxxx1]

I havent done any yet!

Look's like a good day had by all and didn't you pick a good day with the sun shining down on yet another succesfull Bongo meet, stunning piccies Muz

[hembramacho]

We had a really nice day today. Great weather and company (and bongos), so thanks all for contributing.
Fantastic photos from Muz as usual.
The slate museum was a great place to go (free too) - also saw some mad people rockclimbing (how good is Muz's zoom!) and diving .
Then Bongoplod took us to a great viewpoint just past Deiniolen which was breathtaking - great view of the Lady of Snowdon and surrounding area - shame about the clouds getting in the way of our view of the summit of Snowdon itself.
Then saw about 5 bongos on the A55 on the way back (not including Team Muz bombing past us ).

Diolch yn fawr, tan y tro nesa!

Andrew, Mair, Mared & Eryl

After an early night and missing the end of Robert Plant
Time to check the map before we set off



Stop to admire the view on the way



And look at the snow brrrrrr ...literally

To watch some telly



Watch a man splitting slates (I’m sure I know him)



Naughty children at the back please



And behave you two



Lunch in the cafe



Watch some bubbles



What’s under the water?
