These are all from the hike on Snowdon. It was the only time during the week that there were enough breaks in the rain to be able to take pictures. The rest of the time it rained pretty constantly.

Several different places in England lay claim to the Arthur legend. Wales does also, and we got to see some of the important sites from the story. This last picture is of the lake where the Lady of the Lake is supposed to have lived. Nearby is a mountain pass where Arthur is said to have fought his final battle and a cave where his knights carried him afterwards. Looking around at the wildness and majesty of the mountains, it was not hard to imagine all sorts of heroic tales taking place there. Our guides also told us a few Welsh legends about giants and a serpent in the lake, which were of course slain by brave heroes.
JEALOUSY!!!
