Go to Pete's Eats in Llanberis, you will appreciate the pint of T after a hard days pensionering :D also the food in there is quite excellent :D :D :D

Pete wouldn't want a pint of tea Wurzel, it would flood his colostomy bag :D

cant speak highly enough about Portmeirion got married there in 2001

good tip pete for a superb three course meal book for sunday lunch for about £17 at the hotel (not the castle) and you get free entry to portmeirion which is around £6 each.

Also good restaurant in borth called blossoms but owners are in process of selling so they may not be there by half term


i stayed here with the missus a few weeks ago fantastic food in the hotel
the rooms are a bit laura ashley but overall its a good place greatview of the eustary but if you go out on the sand watch the tide 0 to 60 in about 3seconds

You also have to look out for that big white wobbly balloon chasing after you while you make a dash for your Lotus 7 :D:D:D

Pete, go for a wonder over Crib Goch - you should find it easy in your moccasins ;)

I seriously need the weather for commercial reasons on Saturday [an open air concert!] so lets hope the Gods are favourable in Wales that weekend! Where's Nant yr Arian ['Silverbrook'] Chris?

Now as for Crib Goch [Red Ridge] I'm proud to say I once had my 27" knobblys over there too. Felllow rider unfortunately came down in a chopper - but that's another story [and no I dont mean ON a Chopper ;))

I didn't know that was what it means :cool: What's the proper way to pronounce it? Isn't "Y" in Welsh "e", so "Yr" becomes "er"?

It's on the A44, about six or seven miles west of Aberystwyth. Nearest village is Pont-erwyd - there's a Foresty Commission visitor centre there and some cracking MTB trails.

Crib Goch ridges and the Snowdon horseshoe is IMHO one of the best walks you can do in the UK. I confess to having a soft spot for Snowdonia in general, particularly around Betws-y-coed and Llanberis (And I do remember many visits to Pete's Eats), Some of the other local hills are good (Tryfan, Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach), and spent a great day climbing waterfalls round Ogwen Cottage. Beddgelert is nice but in a slightly greener, woodier way.

Cracking pic Top Dog - hope you dindt Google it, and WHY were you out in such weather!!!

'Nant yr Arian' Chris - 'y' as the 'u' in 'unsure' and then the 'r' needs your tounge to join in and flap about a bit - like the Spanish do ;)
