Mae’n ymdrin â 31 o gilometrau sgwâr o weundir wedi’i amgáu ym Mharc Cenedlaethol Eryri, lle cafodd 555 o safleoedd archaeolegol eu cofnodi, 20 o’r rheiny wedi’u cofnodi o’r blaen yn y Cofnod Henebion Cenedlaethol.

N O INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION MAY MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN IN DOING SO WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION OF MUD AND ROUTES MOUNTAINS OF WALES A L IST WELSH AND SIX HUNDRED IN STATURE (WASHIS) PB7 2 What are the WASHIS? Well, Scotland has it’s Munros (among others) and the Lakes have their Wain- rights. Wales doesn’t have a list of summits in it’s own right. While there are hills known as Nualls, they are not specific to Wales and include an ever in- creasing list of summits with 30 metres drop all around, making for a long list. It is also rather patronising for the Welsh and English hills (which I do not con- cern myself with here) to be included with that of a neighbouring country. Some lists also sck to the old imperial figure of 2000 feet making a mountain, or 610 metres, which really is rather clumsy in metric. Washis are all the hills in Wales that are over 600m and have at least 50 me- tres drop all around. Some notable tops have not made it into the main list, including some of the tradional ‘3000 Footers’. There are some other sum- mits missing from the list. Y Garn on the Nantlle ridge for one, an excellent viewpoint or Bera Mawr, an excellent lile scramble to the summit tor. Fan Y Big in the Beacons fails to make it too. Just because they’re not on the list, doesn’t mean they’re not worth vising.

  • Survey of Maesglase.Pdf
    Survey of Maesglase and Maen Du 26 February 2016 The Team: John Barnard and Graham Jackson 1) Introduction Maesglase (Hill 2145, Section 30F, OS 1:50000 Maps 124/125, OS 1:25000 Map 23E, Grid Ref SH817150) is listed as a Marilyn, Hewitt and Nuttall. An extract from the OS 1:25000 scale map is shown below. Previously there has been doubt about the position of the highest point of Maesglase. Maen Du (Hill 2146), marked with a spot height of 674m was considered to be the summit of this hill. However, as described in Anne and John Nuttalls’ book “The Mountains of England and Wales” Volume 1 – Wales, an observation made in 1996 by Tim Jones suggested that Craig Rhiw- erch was indeed higher. Anne and John Nuttall subsequently surveyed these two positions and reported in the second edition of their book that the highest point of Craig Rhiw-erch was about 2m higher than Maen Du. Therefore the accepted summit of Maesglase has now moved to Craig Rhiw- erch. The purpose of this survey was to confirm the hill’s summit position. 2) Equipment used and Conditions for Survey All optical work for this survey was carried out with a Leica NA730 Professional Automatic level (X30 telescopic system)/tripod system and a “1m” E-staff extendable to 5m. Conditions for the survey, which took place between 12.00hr and 13.00hr, were good. Although not sunny, visibility through the level was clear and there was no excessive wind to hamper measurements. It was quite cold, about zero degrees Celsius, with a significant wind chill.
