  • 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.

  • Charlie Ramsay and Me: a Tale of Obsession
    SheepSheet Autumn 2015 Johnnie Watson, the Laughing Cavalier – 12th in the 2015 Montane Spine Race Notes from the Editor: It’s been a while and my apologies for the lengthy hiatus between issues but welcome all to the latest edition of the Sheepsheet, Calder Valley Fell Runner’s periodic glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of fell running, adventure racing, and outdoor self-flagellation in general. All of us enjoy some of those, but one man has demonstrated remarkable fortitude in all three at once. It’s been a while since he did it, and my apologies to Johnnie in particular for the lateness of this edition hitting the shelves. His monumental achievement should have been heralded much sooner, but a fanfare is a fanfare, and let’s all blow our bugle to our very own Johnnie Watson for his magnificent 12th place in Montane’ Spine Race. The race is labelled as Britain’s Most Brutal Race, so by my reckoning that makes Johnny the 12th most brutal man in Britain – GRRRRRRR!!!! Not bad for a nurse from Pye Nest! Well done Johnny, and not all of it in borrowed kit either! Johnnie tells us more of his odyssey up central England later. Recent months, as always, have seen superb performances and achievements from numerous club members, some of which are featured here for your enjoyment. We have seen the stellar progression of Ben Mounsey into an international-class runner, which in turn has guaranteed him residency on the back pages of the local sporting press. Again, well done Ben, it’s been a pleasure to report on your heroics and nobody deserves it more due to your graft, skill and determination.

  • Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck
    Highland Archaeology Services Ltd Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck, Rùm Report No: HAS051202 Client The Small Isles Community Council Date December 2005 Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles December 2005 Summary This report sets out general recommendations and specific proposals for the development of archaeology on and for the Small Isles of Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rùm. It reviews the islands’ history, archaeology and current management and visitor issues, and makes recommendations. Recommendations include ¾ Improved co-ordination and communication between the islands ¾ An organisational framework and a resident project officer ¾ Policies – research, establishing baseline information, assessment of significance, promotion and protection ¾ Audience development work ¾ Specific projects - a website; a guidebook; waymarked trails suitable for different interests and abilities; a combined museum and archive; and a pioneering GPS based interpretation system ¾ Enhanced use of Gaelic Initial proposals for implementation are included, and Access and Audience Development Plans are attached as appendices. The next stage will be to agree and implement follow-up projects Vision The vision for the archaeology of the Small Isles is of a valued resource providing sustainable and growing benefits to community cohesion, identity, education, and the economy, while avoiding unnecessary damage to the archaeological resource itself or other conservation interests. Acknowledgements The idea of a Development Plan for Archaeology arose from a meeting of the Isle of Eigg Historical Society in 2004. Its development was funded and supported by the Highland Council, Lochaber Enterprise, Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, and much help was also received from individual islanders and others.

  • Grey Corries, Golden Days by MIKE KENT
    34 GREY CORRIES, GOLDEN DAYS MIKE KENT My days in the Grey Corries began one Aberdeen Spring Holiday, late on a Friday afternoon. Friends were motoring down to stay in Lochaber for the long weekend and I took the opportunity of a lift, arranging to come back with them on the Monday night. Leaving Aberdeen early in the afternoon, I was very soon standing alone just off the A82 outside Spean Bridge. View of Grey Corries Massif from near Spean Bridge. (Drawing by Mike Kent) The weekend weather promised to be settled, with high pressure squatting over the country like a great warm hen, protecting all us wee birds from the vagaries of the normal climate. It was 4.30 p.m. and I set off briskly wanting to camp high on that first night. The road climbed steadily across open grassland then plunged through vernal green mature larches into the depths of the Leanachan Forest. After Theanother 2 km Cairngormthe farm of Leanachan appeared, alon e Clubin its clearing in the forest. There, concentrating on avoiding unplumbed depths of mud, I lost the path that I wanted so I struck straight up the hill through the trees heading for the disused tramway that ran from Loch Treig to Fort William during construction of the aqueduct to the smelter. Now it lies abandoned along the contour of the hill just fifty metres below the 'parallel road' at 260 m. Those shore line signatures of a long gone ice-dammed lake are well enough known in Glen Roy but also can be found on the hills around Glen Spean.
