A real strange experience yesterday.
I parked my car in a deathly quiet Nant Peris main street, opposite the Vaynol Arms, and walked to the summit of Elidir Fawr.
Only three cars used the llanberis Pass in nearly half an hour, as i was looking through a pair of new binoculars at the surrounding scenery.
All car parks, and pullins from llanberis onwards are blocked off, with heavy stones, so its impossible to park your car anywhere.
With so few vehicles, and nobody in sight, apart from a farmer high up on the slopes of Y Garn.
It was an experience i will never forget.
On my way home, i used the A5 Capel Curig to Bettws Y Coed road, and until i reached Bettws, i only encountered six passing vehicles.
Come Monday, the staff at Cotswolds expect total mayhem, but throughout Friday, i was one of only five customers they had all day.
Having the whole of Snowdonia to myself, was a very rare treat indeed, and in hindsight, i think it was a once in a lifetime event
