HFF from the summit of The Great Orme
Although it is only 679 feet above sea level, we used the The Great Orme Tramway, which is a cable-hauled 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge tramway in Llandudno, running from Victoria Station to just below the summit of the Great Orme headland.
It is Great Britain's only remaining cable-operated street tramway, and one of only a few surviving in the world, and it is owned by Conwy County Borough Council. The line comprises two sections, where each section is an independent funicular and passengers change cars at the Halfway station. Whilst the upper section runs on its own right of way and is similar to many other funicular lines, the lower section is an unusual street-running funicular. The views to Snowdonia are very good from here - on a clear day. It was slightly hazy on that morning.
Some people were arriving up here in skimpy summer dresses, and took the railway down straight away as it was very windy and chilly up here. Luckily we both had fleeces on, but even so the wind chill factor made it feel uncomfortable. The wind prevented the cable cars from operating.
