  • GUIDED WALKS and EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May)
    GUIDED WALKS & EVENTS SPRING 2019 Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May) Most of these walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken. Walking boots, rucksack, hats, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans), spare fleece, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course waterproof jackets and trousers. A whistle and a head torch (with spare batteries) should be carried, particularly during the winter months, and a hi- visibility garment would be very useful in case of poor visibility. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice by ringing the walk leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs because of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under 18). MOST OF THESE WALKS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED WALKERS - IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OF YOUR ABILITY WHY NOT START OFF WITH A MODERATE WALK TO FIND OUT? Please check the guided walks programme on the website for planned cancellations and changes to walks. Leaders may change or cancel the advertised route at their discretion due to adverse weather conditions or other problems on the day. You are strongly advised to check the Mountain weather forecast for the Brecon Beacons National Park before setting out for walks, on the Met Office website: www.metoffice.gov.uk. Finish times are approximate. Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace.

  • 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.

Caves, being protected 33 34 from surface erosion and weathering, can preserve evidence of earlier glaciations in the form 35 36 of speleothem and sediment archives.

  • From: Sharon Hughes
    From: Sharon Hughes <[email protected]> Sent: 24 March 2020 19:39 Subject: Emergency child care for children under school age Good evening, We have been asked to circulate this information We would be grateful if the following message and link could be circulated to your parents. Many thanks Powys Childcare Team We are working to support families with their childcare needs to ensure the continuation of frontline services during the Covid-19 outbreak, and to provide care for vulnerable children. We are hoping to ensure that a limited number of our Childcare Providers remain open to provide care for these groups of children who are not yet of school age from Friday 27th March onwards. Where at all possible, children should stay at home. This cannot be over-emphasized. If your work is critical to the Covid-19 response or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and your child cannot stay at home, then your childcare will be prioritised: - Health and social care - Education and childcare - Key public services - Local and national government - Food and other necessary goods - Transport - Utilities, communication and financial services. From Friday 27th March, we are hoping to have childcare for children not of school age at the following locations: - Ystradgynlais - Brecon - Crickhowell - Llandrindod Wells - Newbridge - Llyswen - Newtown - Welshpool - Llanfyllin - Llanidloes The situation is being continually reviewed and there could be changes to provision, based on patterns of demand. Whilst we hope access to childcare will be provided to enable key workers to work during this critical period, we do need to keep the number of children in educational, childcare and play settings to the smallest number possible.

  • Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS
    Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS Description Location and Context This linear LCA includes the floor and lower sides of the Usk Valley. It extends from Pencelli to the eastern edge of the National Park near Abergavenny, and includes several settlements including Crickhowell, Talybont and Bwlch. It has nine adjacent LCAs, including the high land of the Central Beacons to the west and the Black Mountains to the east. Summary Description This settled, luxuriant valley contrasts with the surrounding open and craggy hills. Its wide, flat valley floor with its patchwork of fields is an important transport route, containing main roads and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. A fertile, agricultural landscape, the Usk Valley is also strongly influenced by parkland planting and in places is densely wooded. The valley has a long history of settlement, and contains several villages, numerous farms and country houses with their associated grounds. A series of Iron Age hillforts overlook the valley, and the southern part has industrial links with the Clydach Gorge and Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. The Usk Valley west of Crickhowell Historical Development of the Landscape The development of this landscape reflects its strategic role as a key route and transport corridor over millennia, as well as its long use for traditional agriculture and industry. Iron Age hillforts are prominent on the valley sides, with later defensive features including a series of Medieval mottes and castles such as Tretower. Villages developed at crossing points of the river, with some historic bridges surviving.
