The Mountain Hike

After visiting the haunted prison and strolling through the countryside, we all slept very soundly. The next morning, we were woken by the harmonic sound of Mr Whites rendition of All The Single Ladies then we stumbled down the stairs in order to eat our full English breakfast. After being pleasantly stuffed we put on our boots and jumped on the minibus to the mountains. We climbed up the jagged rocks and came up to our first summit of the Carnedd y Filiast. We quickly had a drink then it was off to the next mountain. The second mountain that we faced was Mynydd Perfedd meaning perfect mountain which seemed rather small compared to the other mountains. We hiked across the uneven terrain and came to the final mountain, Elidir Fawr, being one of north wales’ over 3000ft mountains and a nightmare to hike, as we had to climb over the large rocks and the steep slopes. When we reached the top, we sat in the summit shelters and enjoyed our well-deserved flap jacks and sandwiches. We had a steep descend ahead of us leading us down the slate quarry and into town. The slate quarry had 2 massive quarry holes named after places one called Australia and the other California. The biggest and deepest one by far was Australia these were named after the places which took the most amount of slate. We carefully scrambled across the slate and into town. When we finally got back to the centre after a long day we cleaned out our lunchboxes and bottles and chilled out in the common room. Then we went into the dining room for a lovely dinner of pizza, wedges and to top it all off, a bowl of chocolate angel delight.
