Line names, their origins and alternatives

I only discovered recently that the Watkin Path up Snowdon was named after, and built by, Edward Watkin, who owned a holiday chalet in Cwm Llan. Watkin was an MP, and the path was ceremonially opened in 1892 by his friend William Gladstone. The path stood in for the Khyber Pass in "Carry On Up the Khyber"

There is no evidence that Forbes was involved in the rival route that was built up the other side of the mountain from Llanberis between 1894 and 1896!
