thanks for sharing; i was a (catholic) boarding school lad from age 6 until university

deeply envious envious of the place you've chose to live

where i've had so many excellent days out (snowdonia mostly)--bunk at pen-y-pass YHA, snowdon horseshoe, glyders traverse, etc), then finish each day with a litre mug of tea at Pete's in Llanberis

So weird seeing Pete's eats mentioned here. One of my best friends lives in Llanberis.

I once got taken up Crib Goch completely unprepared, thinking I was going on a leisurely walk. I was not impressed.

you were not impressed at the time, but now that you've done it (Crib Goch) you have only fond memories of the experience and look forward to having another go some day, i'm guessing? :-)

is Pete's still there? I haven't been to Llanberis in maybe 5 years; it would be depressing to find it closed (and eg, a mini-Marks & Spencers in its place) on my next trip
