I can't be bothered even thinking about Dreamwidth. My 'blog here is my first 'blog. I bought a permanent account. If LJ dies I (or my 'blog anyway) will die with it.

Overflow?

Snowdon is great - but very cold and blowy at the top however sunny it is - pack layers accordingly.
You need to pick a route from the several available - the basic Llanberis "follow the crowds" path is actually rather nice, if crowded, it has interesting changes of view and follows the train track for a lot of the way which is nice, as well as being dead simple - but you can always take a different route down because the Sherpa bus conveniently goes round frequently from each of the different staring points. New cafe at the top is lovely, if crowded.

Pete's Eats, on Llanberis high street is totally the place to refuel afterwards, they do enormous mugs of tea and huge plates of yummy chips and fry ups and hippy currys, for very little money.

Any other questions?

We did take the train (the easiest route is very easy for an adult but still not an option for Tiny's legs).
It was fun and the views were fabulous and I thought the taped spiel on the way up was good as well (YMMV) - but it costs 25 quid return or 17 quid one way (though the first train of the day is half price if you pre-book), and we had to book several days in advance so you can't just decide that you're not feeling up to the walk when you get there (in school holidays anyway).
One way train rides down are sold on a first come first served basis at the mountain top, but only insofaras the train's not full of return passengers.

I found it moderately unpleasant going down with a cup of tea sloshing in my stomach. Bump slosh bump slosh bump. YMMVO.

Also, we went up and down by train because people were bigging up the time / difficulty of going up and down by the main route, had we known how short / easy it would have been we would have walked. I am fooled every time by things like that (there was one in the US where there was a tour of ancient pueblo peoples' ruins and the guide was saying only do this if you're fit and have good shoes and have some water and it was basically 200 yards and a climb up and down a short ladder). I should know better...

Oooh, Tiny would be onto you like a shot for that error. It is by no means a funicular railway - it is in fact the UK's only publicly accessible Rack and Pinion railway - quite quite different.

It's amazing the things I have been required to learn in order to read Tiny his bedtime stories - I now know more about the Titanic, Bismarck, Carpathia, Oceanic, Lusitania etc etc than I ever wanted to know.

Had you been up the Great Orme in Llandudno, you could have added a cable tramway to your now-growing expertise.

Snowdon you say? Which route are you taking? One thing to take is some swimming kit - thee are some lovely swims - lakes on the Miners and Pyg tracks and superb waterfall plunge pools towards the bottom of the Watkins Path. Just what you need when you've worked up a sweat. We didn't even bother with going up Snowdon a couple of weekends ago - just walked half an hour up Watkins for the best Jacuzzi in the world :@D
