THE GLORIOUS FIRST FESTIVAL, GOGARTH, August 4th & 5th
Gogarth's first festival. Adam Wainwrigh writes, " In Llanberis August 1st has traditionally been a day of celebration. Throughout the 80's and 90's the day the bird ban lifts from our best sea cliffs has always marked a procession across Anglesey by climbers young and old to do battle with South Stack, armed with little more than a rack of RP's.
On the first weekend after 1st August (the 4th and 5th), as the first happens to fall on a Wednesday and will be classed as a local day for local people we will gather ourselves into a loose group of disorganised Gogarth campaigners and make the most of this new phase in Gogarth's life."
We will give more details nearer the time.
