    CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Rhagfyr/December 2016 50c/50p BRO CYFEILIOG a MAWDDWY. Rheithordy Mallwyd Advent is the time of preparation for a journey, the beginning of Jesus' journey home to his Father, our God. The journey begins with planning and prophecies, and then a joyful send off – the birth of Jesus in the Bethlehem stable. This is the incarnation, “God with us” Julie and I had a week's holiday in Yorkshire recently, staying in the very pleasant town of Skipton. It is nice to have time to read, and so, perhaps appropriately, I read a book by the poet Simon Armitage, called “Walking Home,”describing his walk along the Pennine Way, which passes not far from Skipton. He walked for 2 weeks, in mid summer, through mist and heavy rain. Simon Armitage's book is full of vivid anecdotes, one in particular has stuck in my mind. He tells the story of friends of his, who were also walking the Pennine Way. Setting off one morning from a small Yorkshire Dales' village, to walk the 15 – 20 miles over the moors to their next overnight stop, they are joined by an ever so friendly dog, a golden retriever. They give it such a fuss, that it continues to follow them up the hill. As their village passes out of sight the first twinges of concern begin. “Hey Goldie, it is time that you turned back for home.” But no, Goldie is perfectly happy tagging along! Well surely this dog knows what it is doing, probably follows walkers every day.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1.

If you’re fit, catch the Snowdon Sherpa bus to Pen-y-Pass and take the Pyg Track (p227). Time your descent via the Rhyd Ddu Path to catch the Welsh Highland Railway (p244) back to Caernarfon. If you’re not up for climbing, head to Llanberis and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (p227).

The area is used for agriculture but provides us with many ecosystem services. It’s an important nesting ground for birds and also stores water and carbon and cleans the water for us. The area is under threat from lack of water, misuse (e.g. scrambler bikes) and fires. To help conserve the area, ditches created to drain the land in the past are being filled in and blocked to store water in the upland. This will help the plants store carbon for the future. Morfa Harlech An area of sand dunes at sea level, 6km2 in size. The area is used for agriculture, leisure and a conifer plantation.
