Languishing At Llandudno – 3

It is called The Summit Complex but, in reality, it is currently very simple. It’s a caff and toilets.

Once upon a time it had a well stocked bar …

… which, oddly, celebrated the famous boxer Randolph Turpin …

… complete with statue.

Now, the room is merely used as overflow for the caff.

Round the back of the building you will find the minimalist terminal “station” for the cable car.

There is also a good overview of the tramway’s Summit station …

Whilst in their hotel, fbb had read an article on-line about the re-opening of an “attraction” at the Great Orme summit. Initially excited, the old folks became less enthusiastic when it turned out to be crazy golf!

Despite the day’s being overcast, it was being well used when the fbb’s alghted from their 26 bus.

Signage was hardly to a slick professional standard and the warnings about bad weather were doubtless of some importance to she who sat at the receipt of custom!

But if you averted you gaze from the “attractions”, there were some gorgeous views – even though the weather was somewhat overcast. Here a view over the north shore where sat the fbbs hotel and further on to the Little Orme. …

… and looking south in the direction of Conwy.

Weedy phone camera shots do not do justice to the real thing. But here’s something better from the Visit Conwy web site!

Likewise, pictures taken from the window of Arriva’s descending 26 are even less justice-doing! But you will get the idea.

Pleasant rugged scenery all round …

… plus a few of the Orme’s celebrated caprine residents!

… and the tram is never far away.

All views are better experienced live rather than from the lens of a camera onboard a small bus!

The rounded corner of Cafe Nero, the one bay window next door and the peaked roof of the red coloured edifice serve to fix the location.

And today’s buses to Colwyn Bay and Rhyl still pass thataway!
