I'm off to Wales next week..

My list is.. Ffestiniog, Welsh Highland, Welsh Highland Heritage and Talyllyn. Not sure about Snowdon.

That makes the Great Little Trains Card at

Hi Scott.

There are also some very good walks that take in abandoned NG railways that may well be of intrest to other members of your family for their scenic value.#

It will depend on where you are staying, but with the evenings now getting lighter weather permitting it may be ideal to go for an hours walk after your evening meal.

Cheers Brian.. I'll look at that..

At the moment I'm struggling with the Welsh Highland Timetable..

The trains Tuesday and Wednesday only give an hour in Caernarfon..

Yes indeed 13:05 to 14:15 is not really enough time to look around the castle and certainly not enough for a boat trip.

Might be a miss this time :( I don't think the wife and baby will last 2hrs there, 1hr then 2hrs back..

I'm already pushing it with the other days out!
