Anyone know what the opening hours are at the weekends?

What time will it open on a saturday morning, 1st december?

Can't see any online info..

In reply to IainRUK: Think you'll be lucky to get a panad as the place is demolished while they build a new one

In reply to IainRUK: take a flask as it is not there currently. area is being built on , some kind of visitors centre opening spring 2013 i think, not sure if it will have a cafe.

In reply to malcolm d: Bad one.. cheers

In reply to IainRUK: Does this mean the toilets are gone as well? I'm happy to pee behind a wall, but mrs T can be fussy

In reply to toad: Toilets still open

In reply to Adrian Daniels: Ta

In reply to gali:

Shame,

I wonder if it will be reinstated or will there be some new swanky (e.g. expensive) joint instead?

In reply to IainRUK:

Iain,

The plan - http://www.eryri-npa.gov.uk/park-authority/ogwen-consultation

In reply to pasbury:
Its planned that there will be a drinks/snacks kiosk in the covered area.

What's a Swyddfa?

In reply to Andy Say:

OMG !

In reply to Jim Hamilton:

FIFY

In reply to Trangia:

It's an office innit.

In reply to Trangia:

with the wonders of google,it seems to be the word for "office".

Looking at the drawings, it seems to be a good layout and use of space.
There seems to be less parking, however if there was parking for 1000 car's there in a couple of years it wouldn't be enough.

I'm please with it, but wonder did it need doing?
the old toilet block and kiosk was functional and fit for purpose.
I wonder if there was a need for a gateway into Cwn Idwal?
the beauty of the area speaks for itself.
a bit of a moot point now.

In reply to IainRUK:
No more free parking on the road leading to the carpark then i take it?

In reply to kieran b:

Proberly not,

and a few weeks ago there were nice gentleman adding some customisation (in yellow and black sticky back doucment pouches) to the cars not parked in proper parking bays, near the Cromlech Boulders.

so I should imagine they will work out how to get over the Glyders by the spring

In reply to Richard Phelan:

Why not just put in "office" then? The rest of the plan is in English or bilingual

In reply to Trangia:

Looking at the actual plan, there seems to be very little change to the current facility... Ultimately it is a beautiful area and receives a fraction of the trash that Snowdon receives and this modification will have a negligible effect on the status quo...

In reply to kieran b: Ogwen valley is in Conwy and the pass/pen y gwryd is in Gwynedd... which is why there is free parking in ogwen and not in gwynedd

In reply to Rory Shaw:

Well...Ish. Without a map to hand I think the county boundary comes down off Pen yr Ole Wen and cuts across the road right by the end of the llyn and then up on to the Glyders.

Certainly Gwynedd have been pretty hot on parking around the Pass but that is an area that does sometimes see total pillock parking. There IS free parking in Gwynedd believe it or not
