    Barber & Gallon, 2020

    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.

  • Glyder Fawr Detailed Press Release Final

    Glyder Fawr Detailed Press Release Final

    A New Welsh Super Mountain? What on earth is a Super Mountain?? There is no dictionary definition of this and it is a phrase composed purely by ourselves. So what do we, that is G and J Surveys, mean? Until the publication of Ordnance Survey 1:50000 (Landranger) maps in the early 1970s we predominantly used imperial measurements for both distance and height; this despite the kilometre-based National Grid. British hills and mountains were measured against key benchmark heights, notably 1000, 2000 and 3000feet – good solid round numbers! However, once the metric system was introduced on Ordnance Survey maps, these benchmark heights became 304.8, 609.6 and 914.4metres, hardly memorable numbers! So if we go metric to “define” mountains, the obvious benchmark height is 1000 metres. That’s fine for those who live in Scotland where there are 137 mountains reaching the 1000m mark, but what about south of the border? Well, there are only four mountains over this height and lucky Wales has them all. So, for rarity value we have adopted the phrase Super Mountain. What are the Welsh Super Mountains? Of course, heading the list is Snowdon (1085m) followed by the adjacent Crib y Ddysgl (1065m). Following closely behind and in the north of the Snowdonia National Park are Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m) and finally Carnedd Dafydd (1044m). Does anyone care? Well yes, quite a few people do. For example Wales plays host to many mountain events, one familiar to tourists on the Snowdon Mountain railway being the Snowdon Race. But, another equally famous is the Welsh 1000m Peaks Race, where competitors visit all the Welsh 1000m summits within a given time limit.

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering

    Hill Walking & Mountaineering

    Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains.

    First Walk 15/10/1978 As Reported in 'Strider' De: 1979

    First walk 15/10/1978 as reported In 'Strider' Dec: 1979. The Snowdonia Panoramic Walk over the roof of WALES with ED DALTON 639 A FITTING TITLE I BELIEVE TO DESCRIBE A MOST Beautiful. INTERESTING AND CERTAINLY VERY STRENUOUS WALK WHICH I DEVISED TO SATISFY (OR TORTURE) MY INSTINCT FOR CHALLENGES. After only residing for a short while in Anglesey I was looking for fresh ideas to keep myself fit and. active. Having always been a very athletic person. Looking at the mountain scene from Aber towards Snowdon and the NANTLLE RIDGE gave me the idea for a really great walk. What about a walk from one end of Snowdonia to the other in one day?? The walk envisaged would be approximately thirty miles ~ after checking my map with the map wheel and would involve again approximately 12.000 feet of ascent!! Phew!! Needless to say I couldn't wait to have a go but the wet summer stopped my first two attempts when I had all the gear ready and even rose at 5.0 a.m. to check the weather. Finally, at the third attempt I rose at 4.0 a.m. instead of 5.0 am. due to the alarm clock going haywire (curses) and set off far Aber after a hasty breakfast. On reaching ABER, the weather was very still and a clear day had just dawned at 6.50 a.m. A quick farewell to my co-driver and last minute instructions for the pick-up at CAERNARVON (hopefully twelve hours later!] and I was off on the dot at 7.0 a.m.
