Destination: Moel Eilio

We drove up to North Wales yesterday for a week in Llandudno with Rhodri's family. It was a happy reunion with them and we settled right in. This morning Rhodri and I left the troops with Nain and Taid and took Bentley for a walk up Moel Eilio in Llanberis. Surprisingly, Rhodri has never walked this path so it was new for both of us, which is unusual in his stomping grounds of Snowdonia.

 It was a leisurely sloping walk up to the top of Moel Eilio,




It was an absolutely gorgeous walk and we had all the right kit on (of course!). On the way back, we stopped for tea and cake at the famous Pete's Eats. Rhodri recognised some young hotshot climber who was in the middle of writing an article for a magazine. After getting cleaned up back at the house and reuniting with Nia, Cris, Gabi and Val, we went for dinner with Geri and Bleddyn to a nice restaurant. Such a treat! It was a fantastic day and we are so glad to be up here.
