good good good ... get ready to go beyond the little adventure of the Goonies.
This weekend we went to Wales (the country that we needed to visit the United Kingdom). Some friends who have a camper van told us to go with them to spend the weekend and up to Snowdon or Yr Wyddfa (in Welsh), the highest peak in Wales at about 1,085 meters above sea level, so we already pa left.
On Friday I caught the hour and half of my remaining vacation (yupiiiiii), I came for work and do km. We left as the 15h and 19h we arrived at because although we caught 300km traveled the typical caravan on Friday when leaving work. We arrived at the village
"Llanberis" that we would serve as base camp and we went to camp to rest, to put up a tent, showering ... The campsite was the only area that opened in the winter and the next day we discover why ... Overall, we ate dinner in the van (which is better than Team A with a fridge, cooker, bed, swivel seats, heating ...), we shower, we started a few laughs ... while it was raining and raining (Welcome to Wales seemed to tell the time). Ali and me we lay down in the van and the dogs, Isra and Jordan in the store (nice people that we have friends over.)
The next day I woke up suddenly while Ali was still ringing with handsome and muscular guys and started listening to like the sound of people talking. I went back to sleep for a little while and when we wake up ... well ... they were sheep who had been swarming around us. The camping (to call it) was the playmobil farm with all its accessories. The tractor, chickens, sheep, dog ... until the pigs, all very rustic, I just thought about one thing, "Paris Hilton would sleep on this site?."

Besides that, the beautiful place, with its hillocks, its green, its rivers, all very good post and very nice . Total
, we went to the point where one route began to climb. Everything seemed to be wonderful we were walking, not into an excessive cold, the scenery was beautiful, its mountains, lakes, snow to the bottom and started climbing up .... ... and the thing began to unravel ... complicated. .. there was a time when I started thinking about the fall and thought to myself "MADRE MIAA !!"... from there we look at all the people that seemed to come down to the Anapurna, like all He spent the Edurne, some faces of effort and a very professional EQUIPACION ... sticks, high mountain clothing, boots professionals ... and while I with shoes that are almost walking and Ali in a tracksuit and tennis ... a English what ... if there is going to go, but go get ready is nonsense!

begin to have contact with the snow and as always, very nice at first but finally I tired of the cold and damp ... and cost continue to rise and because had a clear path. Alicia had many problems because they slipped on the shoes and I put up with .... well ... until the last 200 meters that were pending, with no place to grip, snow, ice, a precipice of those who are not in order, fog, cold and sliding .... cayendome I already looked like in the movies and my mother crying at my funeral scolded for doing things that would not have to do, "... if I already said ... the sport will kill you ..." (I think that neither my mother died will stop being my mother !!!). Overall, we made a human chain and managed to crown the mountain of the coj .... At that point, I could see nothing through the fog and it was all snow. Climbing
, we had already preoccupied with the fall, because up is up, but down ... you do .... resbalandote faster than they want, but do not worry because we heard there was a train that ascended to the top, so we could get off at. But ... yeahhhh ... say what you mean .... there was no train EXACT ... ... well if he had, but did not rise in winter with snow and all that ... Overall we enjoyed (which could) the sights and rest a while. It's funny to be on top at only 1,000 feet and see the seagulls and sea \u200b\u200bis a few miles and good chill, it seemed that we were at 4,000 meters is not just 1,000 ... to my people (Felix) is 800 and does not seem so.

that for the descent, Isra, Jordi and the dogs were on the road difficult and we continue the way of the train. This road was not going to where we started but a few miles to the town where camping was ... ... more kilometers ufffffff .... so if in theory would be about 11 km (between up and down) we would do about 40 ... (I'm exaggerating Andalusian !!!).
After a few hours and I more relaxed and back to see the day of my death as an old man with my children around me, enjoy the views, the little walk and crushed our knees. So Ali took a souvenir from the mountains to his beloved (and highly respected by me) father. And I say it's highly respected as much as I remembered him when Alice instead of taking a stone was intended to carry one of 10 kilos halfway ... well ... is what you get!
The rest of the day was to get together again and then they head to eat the people, have adventures and enjoy the rest of the afternoon warm and camaraderie in the van.
The next day we were in tourist plan. After breakfast and pick up camp we went to visit a power plant that is in the village and is the largest of its kind in Europe and also he is a little curious ... " The Electric Mountain." It was an old slate mine in a great mountain, when he stayed in deshuso was used to dig tunnels and set up a power plant inside. The plant produces electricity for the fall of water from a spring at the top of the mountain, which moves turbines and the movement is picked up by a generator that bla bla bla bla ... you become an idea no? . As you might have thought the intelligent class, if the water falls, runs not because every night ?.... noooooo reactivates the plant and the water rises again to the spring ... so there is water above. Well, the thing is that the plant is one of a kind, because it consumes more than it produces. The energy expenditure is elevated the water more than he produces his fall. then it is useful?. Because it produces energy very quickly ... when there is peak demand, active and in seconds you have a lot of energy at the same time! It would have been something really interesting to have taken my cunaaaao that would have given us a lesson about the mine, because they preserve the ancient remains of the slate mine.
