By Train or On Foot?
Here the Snowdon Mountain Railway is about to arrive at the summit of Snowdon. The Llanberis Path/ Pyg Track runs beside it at this point.
There is one carriage, pushed by a locomotive. It uses the rack-and-pinion system: the rack are the teeth between the rails and the cog is on the locomotive.
In the distance to the right, you can see Llanberis and Llyn Padarn. And to the left, Caernarfon Bay and the Irish Sea!
By train or on foot? As I said before, there was no choice for us: the train was fully booked weeks ahead and you couldn't return on it unless you had booked ... In the end I was very happy that I did it all on foot.
