The view through the window of one of the barrack buildings at Dinorwig Quarry, Llanberis, North Wales, looking out over Llyn (lake) Peris and towards yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). The quarry opened in 1787 and closed in 1969, but I don't think these houses were lived in that recently. A notice board talking about the Anglesey Barracks, just a few yards from these ones, said that the men travelling to work from Ynys Môn (Anglesey) could start as early as 3am on a Monday, involving a ten mile walk, ferry crossing, another walk, train journey, and a climb up to the quarry rock face. They would stay in the barracks for the week before travelling back home on Saturday. The quarry was so dangerous that it had its own hospital. The slate museum below in Llanberis, with the largest surviving (and working) water wheel in mainland Britain, is well worth a visit. Nowadays a hydro electric station produces electricity deep inside the mountain under the quarry. That's worth a visit too!

Okay we’d be lying if we didn’t admit there’s a fair few things were missing right now.⁠ ⁠ Sunshine and farther flung adventures are almost top of the list! There’s something about reaching the top, and rummaging through your pack to find whatever snacks you took with you and just sitting there taking in the view! ⁠ 📸 - @joshosmondfilm .—⁠ 🌿🌲 Sustainable Adventure Products + FREE UK Shipping 🇬🇧🌎 JOIN THE CLUB.⁠

Walking from Bethesda to Cwm Eigiau, tracing the journey of three men in January 1865, walking to fit up machinery in the quarry. Only one of them made it, with two dying in the mountains.

We had a big long post about things we’ve changed in the past few months to ease our mind when under pressure or stress, but it really just boils down to being kind to yourself. You’re the biggest critic you’re going to face and you’ll be harder on you than anyone else will but be kind to yourself, I know that’s easier said than done but this is a strange situation, especially with seeing what others are posting and acheiving but lets be honest. you are smashing it.⁠ if you don’t do as much one day as the next that’s honestly okay, the key right now is carrying on and doing what you need to be happy! I will follow up with a blog post this week containing the original caption and tips we’ve found useful recently! ⁠ 📸 - @katiegoffphoto⁠ ⁠ .—⁠ 🌿🌲 Sustainable Adventure Products + First Class UK Shipping 🇬🇧🌎 JOIN THE CLUB.⁠ ⁠

Thunder on Tal y Fan. It wasn't actually raining so hard at that point. Later, huddling on the ground waiting to be struck by lightning, I was wet to my bones.
