Thinking of visiting Snowdonia
 

in half-term, does it ALWAYS rain there?

Where is a good place to go? Is it safe for the English and Scoobies? Do they know what cars are yet in N.Wales? ;)

Anyone know what the weather forecast is like in that area for the first week in June??

Pete

24 views and not a single reply, what does that say to you? :D

Don't forget your passport

What does it say??

The North Welsh can't read, maybe??

No-one knows the answer??

No-one cares less??

Why would it worry you so??

There will be a sensible answer soon!! ;) :D

Pete

I thought old age pensioners weren't restricted to school holidays for their getaways? :confused:

There is a curse there, where many have been and never to return.
Hope you enjoy your stay Pete :norty:

Where does it say I'm restricted??

Pete

It doesn't, but why go away for half term then?

Can I not take my Great Grandchildren with me??

And we go camping, the cost differences are minimal - a field costs £5 for the night (for everyone!) .... whatever the time of year!

£35 for the week ..... luvverly jubberly :D

Pete

PMSL

And on your salary too! :D No wonder you can afford an MX-5 :D

I'm careful with my money ..... it's true :D

Pete

There is an old saying in Llanberis.
"If you can't see the mountain, then it's raining. If you can see the mountain, then its about to rain"

Hth

porthmadog is nice as is criccieth and i can recommend borth y gest, if you need accomodation go to the travel info centre and get hazel and john fentons details they have loads of holiday properties down there for rent!

anyone going to be there @ the same time & give him a little push ;)? I am sure that we could all give you an alibi :D

Pete, when you see ARAF marked on the road it means that you can go alot faster ;)

[QUOTE=pslewis] - a field costs £5 for the night

And for that £5 you get a sheep for yourself alnight http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_7.gif

No it doesnt always rain.

Yes its a good place to go

Yes its safe

They know what cars are.RAC rally country.

Chip

youll never make it to the top on your electric go-cart....:cuckoo:

Grew up there...

Cloud hits mountain - cloud loses...

Caernarfon [castle & sea]
Llanberis [proper mountain, railway, lakes]
Blaenau Ffestiniog [steam railway, mountains (more of), slate mine attractions (nice big drops ;))
Beddgelert (stunning)

If there is an ounce of motoring enthusiast left in you you could head for Morfa Bychan beach at 18:00 - free handbrake turns and 'car control' doughts after everyone's left (no need to break a sweat or the law and exceed 30mph either):) Also Anglesey circuit is close.

Stay at Portmeirion Hotel or nearby Castell Deudraeth - twice as nice and half the cost of London hotels.

It depends if they think that a gag involving a 4 legged animal is the height of original wit (consider smack in chops) or instead bother to say 'thanks' in Welsh (consider free bag of lamb chops). The Welsh are about 5 years behind the South East and GENERALLY still like cars - if they like you they'll LOVE the Scooby (LONG SHOT I know...;))

Maybe you should consider Cornwall?

Refer to mountain and cloud scrap discussion earlier.

D

One thing that should be noted is that the North Wales Police LOVE cars, after all they generate a hell of a lot of income for the area through extensive use of mobile safety cameras.

But as you never speed, Mr Lewis, this shouldn't worry you ;)

we don't want you in wales !! go to scotland instead !!

Yes we do. Let him spend some of that cash here.

Chip

with that kind of attitude towards the welsh i expect you wont come back in one piece,
cooool

I went to Beddgelert once, mega place :thumb:

OK, so, basically, you are all coming with me and push me off the cliff??!! ;)

It looks like rain anyway :( I really don't want to be sat in a tent looking out at some cloud covered mountain! :(

Pete

Spend some money Pete and treat the grandkids to some hotel luxury. You're not going to be around forever and they'll appreciate it for sure....

Also partly grew up there well most school holidays at least :D
still go regularly to family cottage in Borth -Y-gest

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

Mountain biker heaven :D

It's North Wales, the weather is unpredictable, but the scenery is amazing. I'd be quite happy camping though the last time I went was for a week in November, nice cosy holiday cottage for me, fire blazing every evening. The locals are friendly provided you don't start with the sheep shagging gags ;) Saw quite a few Scoobs when I was there and got waves from most of them.

Betws-y-coed is a nice place to stay.

:nono:

We dont want him either :)

Hopefully the predictions of sunshine and 20C for Friday will extended into Saturday for my planned visit to Nant-yr-Arian :D

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