For the moment it is all about removing the remains of the summit building as quickly as possible before the autumnal low-pressure weather systems start making themselves felt. Two trains are now being used to ferry skips between Llanberis and the summit. The P-Way wagon can take three skips and the flatbed with the Hunslet engine can carry five. On a good day twenty-four skip loads can be taken down from the summit.

All that remains of the summit building.

Next week a 'munching  machine' should arrive on site to start crushing the concrete that is going to be recycled for use as infill within the pre-cast foundation units and hopefully work will start on digging the footings.
