The View From The Top

It was a fine day in North Wales as the entire Team Roberts set off from base camp in Llanberis. The Groupie stayed with us for the first very steep section out of the town and then left OG and Daughters Number 1 & 2 to strike on for the summit. At the point of Groupie's departure she took the attached photo of the summit team.

The mountain was busy with human traffic on the last bank holiday weekend before Cristmas - the crowds can be tiresome but one has to be glad that so many people are still taken with Snowdonia's beauty. By the time we slogged on to the summit, the walkers were swelled by those on the train. All were rewarded with vast views across to Ireland on one of those rare days when there is no obstructive cloud. DN2's picture attached as evidence.
What a great day. And do you know what, it just kept giving. For tea we had haddock and chips from the brilliant Golden Fry in Benllech - with mushy peas and curry sauce.

This has been the first time we have all been together at the country estate for nine years. Let it not be so long again.
