Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Snowdonia from an open topped bus!  The Snowdon Sherpa bus services has 3 open toppers running over the summer months:

S1 service which travels from Llanberis up the Llanberis pass to Pen-y-Pass where you can start your walk up Snowdon. 

S2 service runs from Llandudno to Pen-y-Pass via Betws-y-Coed, this service also carries bikes. 

S96 service runs from Rhyd Ddu to Morfa Bychan via Beddgelert, this service connects with the Welsh Highland Railway.

Please check bus timetables for more information. 

The new Sherpa Bus timetables have arrived!

S2April07 (64 Kb)

S3Mayl07 (69 Kb)

S4April07 (163 Kb)

S6May07 revised 02May (49 Kb)

Also from the 21st May 2007 a new Sherpa shuttle service will run between Pen-y-Pass and Pen-y-Gwryd, (check timetables for details).  Pen-y-Pass is the hub of the Snowdon Sherpa network, where all services meet, and the start of two footpaths up Snowdon.  Parking at Pen-y-Pass is limited and often unavailable on fine summer days and weekends, therefore using the Sherpa shuttle service avoids the frustration of parking your car and walking up the road from Pen-y-Gwryd.

N.B. Buses S2, S3 & S6 are normally operated by buses that can convey bikes (free of charge).
On the S3 table the 0910/1020/1110/1210/1410 & 1510 journeys are all now 5 min earlier throughout so that they connect into trains at Betws.

To find a walk, users specify the length of walk and then click where they want to go on the map of Wales or alternatively insert a post code or grid reference.  A summary list of walks is then provided and in order to gain further details such as route descriptions and OS maps, visitors to the site are invited to subscribe to walkingworld.com.

The walks are submitted to walkingworld.com by walking enthusiasts who want to share their routes with the online walking community. 
This means that all the walks come with a personal recommendation, rather than being described by writers who have never experienced the walk themselves.

Visit Wales staff would like say a huge thank you to GG Carriages for donating their time, free van hire and bike transfer service for four days to our charity bike ride.
Our team of ten riders cycled the 160 miles of Celtic Trail from St David's in Pembrokeshire to Cardiff to raise money for Morriston Hospital who had treated a colleague who sadly lost her fight with a brain tumour. The ride raised over £5,000 and thanks to the kind and generous donation from GG Carriages we saved hundreds of pounds on transport.
 
GG Carriages have Minibuses and luxury Minicoaches for all occasions and also offer cycle trailers to transport up to 16 Mountain Bikes.
