me and the mrs (lucy) + asked my mother as she could do with something to look forward too. had a rough time lately
so put us down as very strong possibilites. 


Re: Daft Daffy Bash, Snowdon in Springtime.
Agree,the slate caverns ar worth a visit,so is the copper mine at Sygun and the Slate Quarry Visitors Centre at Lake Padarn,Llanberris.

Taking the Snowdon Railway to the top of Snowdon at the beginning of March.
If we have a decent winter we will be lucky if the train is able to make it half way up.

Re: Daft Daffy Bash, Snowdon in Springtime.
They're building a new Summit station at the mo Tony. Dunno when its finished but - worse case scenario, when we're there - the train will go as far as Clogwyn (2850ft).
Thats still pretty high up in anyones book.

Re: Daft Daffy Bash, Snowdon in Springtime.
I know about the new station that they are building MM, it will be great for the summer time. It depends if they have also renewed the track to something more substantial since I was up there twenty odd years ago. Then thick snow and ice prevented the train from making its way all the way to the top. Clogwyn is usually as far as it can go up in early March unless there is a mild winter.
2850ft is not high enough for me though MM. When you have been to the top over ten times nothing but the top will do. You cannot beat being at the very top on a clear winters day, then you can see around for miles in every direction, something that you remember forever.
PS: To a true mountaineer going half way up on the train is CHEATING.
I will go with you though as I am quite sociable when I am not drunk.
