According to the tabloid junk that my smartphone delivers on my news app parking in Llanberis Pass is verboten at weekends. I've no interest in going to the car park at the top of the pass but are the pull outs by Cromlech and Carreg etc cordoned off or are they still open to anyone who gets there early enough?? Any different during weekdays? Also, if they are full does a bus service do drop offs there or only go to the car park and back non stop.? Thanks 

The park and ride service from Nant Peris operates everyday . The pull ins / lay-bys are open in the week . Parking anywhere near pen y pass is a definite no ,  You will be towed away . 

Lay-bys are also open at the weekend. Tabloids et al are making a “big” deal, but there are only 2 real changes:

1. Booking at Pen-y-Pass

2. If you park illegally you’ll get towed rather than just fined

I went down that way at 0930 on Tuesday. Every lay-by was packed and the carpark had a full sign up and it looked full.

Came back that way at about 1500 and it was the same situation.

I didn't see any illegal parking though.

Last friday/saturday the lay-bys were open to use but everyone who was parked on the pavement by ogwen were being scooped up sharpish

Still spaces at the grochan 20 mins ago

Good to know. Will the bus from Nant Peris drop climbers off along the way? Or is it an 'express' that only stops at the top?

Thanks 

Yes I think they will if you ask . 

Thanks. 

We have caught a taxi recently from the farmers parking just up the way from the park and ride parking to the cromlech boulders. A little expensive but worth it to actually get to climb in the pass when it's in condition and on a weekend 

Does anyone know if there any bike racks in any laybys in the pass?

I think not. Take locks and chains!
