Name Sought For New Snowdon Summit Caff

The Snowdonia National Park Authority is about to reveal the name of the cafe in the new Snowdon Summit visitor centre and trust us, some of the suggestions are simply puntastic, mate...

The Snowdonia National Park Authority is in the process of choosing a name for the cafe which forms part of the new visitor centre being built on the summit of Snowdon and due to open in spring of 2008.

The new name is due to be announced this Wednesday and the authority has asked members of the public to suggest names.

According to the BBC, Snowdonia National Park's Llinos Angharad says the authority is looking for "something short, something quite catchy, something that would be easily remembered by everyone and also something that everybody can say."

You can find out more about the £9 million development from previous OM articles linked at the bottom of this page and from the Snowdon Summit section of the Snowdonia National Park web site.

Meanwhile OUTDOORSmagic members have been having their own debate about the new building on the forum, with at least one poster favouring no summit building at all and creating a Photoshopped view of a naked summit to back up his case :-) See forum thread link below.

You can see a list of suggestions on the BBC Wales web site ranging from the downright awful - 'Grillers in the Mist' anyone - to the mildly less awful 'Summit To Eat'.

We'll do our best to let you know the real one just as soon as it's chosen... If you want to mail a suggestion of your own, try mailing operations@snowdonia-society.org.uk but you'd best be quick.
