The last hour

On the way back from the quary we visited a derelict 13th century slate keep that overlooks the lake around Llanberis. It had another series of tiny steps that once again we only managed half way.

We then took a few final snaps of the valley. The sky was now a clear blue and the sun low bringing out a whole rainbow of colours in the mountains that even I could appreciate, even if I couldn't name. Two days wasn't much but the weather has been fantastic and we also reached the peak making it the most successful of our three destinations. Snowdonia was the most touristy but also the most accessible. The area, despite the tourism, has retained its natural charm and hasn't been scarred by the usual tackiness of a popular destination. I would loved to have walked to the peak but I think our visit was a success nonetheless.
