Cadair Idris

Back to Snowdonia National Park to climb the mountain Cadair Idris with the Aber Hiking Club. Not quite as tall as Snowden, 893 meters in elevation, but still a really nice climb. The route we took was challenging but also doable. The leaves and grasses are starting to change, creating some stunning sights.
The ascent:





The top of the mountains are covered in clouds.


It was a cloudy day so the top of the mountain was really cold, wet, and windy with no views. But we did make it to the top! I promise.
The descent:
Clouds finally clearing so we can see the views!



Some steep declines.

A random sheep! It didn't want to pose..



Some interesting effect shots:


Sun is finally shining through!

Borth

Embarking on my first adventure solo! I took a train from Aber to a little town down the coast, Borth. With rocky beaches, sheep everywhere, and great views, I had a nice quiet day exploring.
I absolutely love how the houses are different colors. I keep on seeing it and I can't resist posting more pictures.



A cute little church


I met these cuties on my way to the zoo. They kindly posed while I played with settings on my camera.



What a view to be mowing hay with!


And of course more sheep.

Albino Wallaby!



My favorite zoo animal! Look at that smug grin!

Borth Train Station Museum:




The people who have renovated this quaint station stop into a museum are to be commemorated for their efforts. Three rooms full of history!
