I am off to North Wales on the bank holiday weekend and I'm hoping to leave
the car at home. Does anyone here have any experience of public transport
frequency/reliability in the Snowdon area and how useful it is for accessing
the larger peaks (i.e the 3000ft+ ones)? I will be staying in Criccieth.

Good and reliable, though the base for things tends to be Bangor
or Caernarfon as opposed to Criccieth (which doesn't actually seem
to get many buses, thumbing through the timetable) - especially
for the 3000s. Look at getting a Freedom of Wales Flexi Pass or
similar, this may work out cheaper. If you've specific plans in
mind post back, I'll have a look through for times, or perhaps
have a look at

looks like a good attempt at a real-time online bus information system
for the area. Though it does, perhaps, spend too many resources on
looking pretty. Roll on cheap, reliable, light, mobile Internet access!
