Pen y Pass Cafe Update

by daveroberts Email

Thanks to Ian for the comment below. The cafe has now re-opened and does sound like it's worth a go. Sounds like it might be another caff to be proud of!

No longer the only safe eating method at the PYP Caff...

Cafe now under new management - a social enterprise buying locally and operating as ethically as they can.
The crockery is real as is the espresso, americano, latte, cappuchino, hot chocolate and all the wonderful homemade cakes that are served with them!
Food is all prepare on site and cooked when it is ordered. Everything I have eaten there has been great and obviously prepared with care. Decent veggie choice too.
Open from 7am till 8pm there is plenty of chance to get in there and its much lighter and warmer than it used to be with a far friendlier welcome!
Would be great if you can publish this as a comment on your blog as i suspect the current comments will put people off visiting the 'new' cafe.

Cheers,
Ian

Bivvy on Ysgafell Wen

This fine weather means that it's much more pleasant to wild camp, and especially to bivvy. Went bivvying on the weekend of the summer solstice on the summit of Ysgafell Wen. It wasn't the best pitch, in fact it was far from flat, but the view was just incredible. Here's some images:
