Snowdon Summit and the New Cafe

Members of the Oswestry U3A Travel Group planned a trip on the train to the top of Snowdon as soon as possible after the opening of the new cafe at the summit.  We enjoyed stunning views for half the trip and then we rattled into cloud on an old diesel train.  A steam train also takes passengers to the top.

The cafe blends in with the mountain.  It is modern inside and probably has great views from the glass walls on clear days.  It was very busy with tired, but ecstatic people, as it was the finish for a ‘3 Peaks Challenge’.   Our group were very fresh, having ridden up to the top!

There is a further climb to reach the summit and luckily we were able to take our souvenir picture during a short break in the cloud, before boarding the train back down to the sunshine.  June Hartshorn was thanked for organising such a memorable event.
