End of Day 4

It was only a short journey back to our accommodation from Llanberis. Once back there was time for cleaning rooms and for Scouts to shower and wash to save time in the morning as it's a fairly early start again on Wednesday as we head out to Zipworld Fforest.

Tonight's dinner was Fajitas - a first on camp and been voted the best meal of the camp so far 🙂

National Slate Museum

This afternoon we went around the slate museum. Interesting to see how the slate was split and made into the various different sizes and shapes by hand.

Part way through the visit there was a short walk and guided tour to the Vivian Quarry.

Cheesy Group Photo Time

We couldn't do the group photo on Snowdon, so done it next to the train and Lake Padarn. Lunch break next and then to the slate museum.

A change of plan

The Snowdon Mountain Railway is closed today due to rain and wind. We are still going on a train though, but around the Lake instead. Before then, there is a bit of time to hit some gift shops.

Been out on the bikes

It's been a fun afternoon of cycling through on the trails through the forest. A mix of up hill and down hill trails to follow with spectacular views. No one fell off this time and only one puncture about 10 meters from the end point (and that was a leader).

Heading back to base now for dinner.

Climbing

It's been a brilliant morning of climbing. A massive thank you to Beacon Climbing. The Scouts got a lot higher than many thought they would and learned to belay too. Lunch and then off to Beddgerlert for mountain biking. 

Breakfast

The Scouts are busy with breakfast. Bacon rolls, cereals and toast this morning.

In 30 minutes we will be off to Beacon Climbing for 90 minutes of challenging climbing.
