The altitude of Capel Curig is a little over 600 ft or 185 m and 2612 mm annually may seem very high for such a height but it illustrates that in a wet mountainous area the rainfall in the valleys can still be high. This effect can even be seen here on the North Downs, in a small way.
Bet nobody pronounces the name as the locals do. :-)
