Waterfalls

Went to visit some friends in Llanberis this afternoon, so took the long route there, to enjoy a little bit of the mountains and pass by Ceunant Mawr Waterfall (known as Llanberis Falls to most). There was a decent amount of water flowing over the edge - if must have been whopping a few days ago, when all the snow melted off Snowdon! I for one, was quite happy to admire the river from the banks today, rather than jump in with my kayak as the photos will explain..

There's a little path that leads right to the base of the falls, allowing you to feel the force of the water as it crashes down. We didn't hang out there for long though, as the spray was billowing out at us! There's also a good vantage point from above, if you cross over the Snowdon Railway line. Nice to nip out for some fresh air amidst an otherwise hectic day!
