Yesterday, the 1936 built summit building was finally reduced to a  pile of concrete rubble interwoven with twisted metal reinforcing rods. A great deal of tidying up and removal of debris now remains. How fast material can be moved down the mountain depends on how many trips the train can make in a day. Before work ceases in November the site needs to be cleared so that hopefully work can begin on the foundations.


No shortage of summit spectators on a gloriously sunny October day although
the very top of Snowdon spent a lot of it in cloud.


The extended arm of the digger gives an idea of the depth of rubble.
