Friday 15th July 2016  Our first port of call was the lovely Faenol Fawr Hotel at St.Asaph, for morning coffee/biscuits.  Such a lovely building with flagged floors, a tudor fireplace dated 1597 and a nice cup of coffee or two.  On we went to Electric Mountain.  What an incredible feat of engineering this is.  Roads through a mountain with traffic lights etc.  from the front it just looks like an ordinary shop. We boarded our bus and travelled into the heart of the mountain Here we were told about the work they do, how they have to calculate peaks and troughs.  Next time you switch your kettle on at 10pm think about the problem you are causing.  The recent European Football caused them some headaches on the nights when there was penalty shoot outs as the peak demand shifted from night to night.  We made a very glamorous group in our hairnets and hard hats – a sight to behold. The regulations were strictly enforced. No open toed shoes, mobile phones, handbags, cameras  etc. all had to be stored in lockers. A very interesting/informative trip.
