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. -

Page Crags of the Southern Rhinogydd Copyright © 2019 Steep Stone™ - All Rights Reserved The Rhinogydd The Rhinogydd are a range of mountains located in Central Snowdonia, south of the Afon Dwyryd, east of Harlech, west of the A470 and north of the Afon Mawddach. Rhinogydd is the Welsh plural form of Rhinog, which means ‘threshold’. It is thought that the use of Rhinogydd derives from the names of two of the higher peaks in the range, namely Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The Rhinogydd are notably rocky towards the central and northern end of the range, especially around Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach and Moel Ysgyfarnogod. This area is littered with boulders, outcrops and large cliffs, all composed of perfect gritstone. The southern end of the range around Y Llethr and Diffwys has a softer, more rounded character, but this does not mean that there is an absence of climbable rock. -
Celtic Folklore Welsh and Manx
CELTIC FOLKLORE WELSH AND MANX BY JOHN RHYS, M.A., D.LITT. HON. LL.D. OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH PROFESSOR OF CELTIC PRINCIPAL OF JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD VOLUME II OXFORD CLARENDON PRESS 1901 Page 1 Chapter VII TRIUMPHS OF THE WATER-WORLD Une des légendes les plus répandues en Bretagne est celle d’une prétendue ville d’ls, qui, à une époque inconnue, aurait été engloutie par la mer. On montre, à divers endroits de la côte, l’emplacement de cette cité fabuleuse, et les pecheurs vous en font d’étranges récits. Les jours de tempéte, assurent-ils, on voit, dans les creux des vagues, le sommet des fléches de ses églises; les jours de calme, on entend monter de l’abime Ie son de ses cloches, modulant l’hymne du jour.—RENAN. MORE than once in the last chapter was the subject of submersions and cataclysms brought before the reader, and it may be convenient to enumerate here the most remarkable cases, and to add one or two to their number, as well as to dwell at some- what greater length on some instances which may be said to have found their way into Welsh literature. He has already been told of the outburst of the Glasfryn Lake and Ffynnon Gywer, of Llyn Llech Owen and the Crymlyn, also of the drowning of Cantre’r Gwaelod; not to mention that one of my informants had something to say of the sub- mergence of Caer Arianrhod, a rock now visible only at low water between Celynnog Fawr and Dinas Dintte, on the coast of Arfon. -
Merlin's People.Wps
MERLIN'S PEOPLE Raymond Foster Wales is possibly the best place in the world from which to understand and follow one of the greatest changes in human lifestyle that ever took place: the transition from wanderers to settlers. When the English first came to Britain they did what they always do when they visit foreign lands. The Romans had not long left, and the natives were used to welcoming foreigners to their land, but they soon realized their mistake as the new lot of foreigners got off the boat. "Excuse me, young man," they said to the boy on the jetty. "We're not foreigners; we're English! You're the foreigners – what we call welisc. Don't you speak Anglo-Saxon? Oh well, you'll learn..." And I suppose they did learn, for 'Welsh' they are to this day: foreigners in their own land! Isn't that just like the English? Of course, I personally am in a privileged position, being Welsh on my mother's side, and English on my father's side; so when I say 'we', I could just as well mean 'they', and when I say 'they', I could just as well mean 'we'. At least I can see both points of view. When the Romans left, Britain was virtually all 'Wales' and the British were virtually all 'Welsh', but we know what the English are like. They edged the native inhabitants further and further into the unploughable hills to the north and west and never even realized that the land had not always been theirs. -

Snowdonia 1911 – 2016 V8 (By Alfie Windsor (64-68))
OCs & Snowdonia 1911 – 2016 v8 (by Alfie Windsor (64-68)) When the ship moved to Glyn Garth in 1941 cadets were drawn by the sight of the mountains of Snowdonia dominating the southern horizon;“We begged the captain to allow us to walk in the hills at weekends.” The idea was regarded with suspicion at first but Captain Goddard eventually allowed day expeditions on selected Sundays. The first walk scaled an “unimposing (and un- identified) hill of 1700 feet. The first tramp in the hills was quite memorable … we were determined to repeat it.” Subsequent trips attacked Y Drosgl, Foel Grach, Foel Fras, Yr Ellen, and Carnedd Llewylyn, They were not the first OCs to climb in Snowdonia as Captain H Broadbent RNR (1880-81) had climbed Mt Snowdon on Thursday 7th September 1911 (see left) while on a sailing expedition with a number of members of staff in his yacht Inyala. On 11th and 12th July 1941 cadets Slater and Brooks climbed to the summit of Snowdon in their normal reefers and without any waterproof clothing. Brooks’s report of the climb from The Cadet is reproduced below. It turned out that Brooks had appendicitis. Two days later his appendix was removed. In 1942 cadets formed the Conway Mountain Climbing Club and parties of six to eight cadets began regular, unsupervised, weekend expeditions into the mountains staying at the youth hostel at Idwal Cottage by Llyn Ogwen. Fraser MacKenzie (41-42) led its first expedition on 30th May taking a bus to Llanberis and then walking across to Idwal via Nant Peris, Y Garn, and Bristley Ridge. -

Demanding in places with some steep ascents/descents which can be slippery when wet. Can be extended into a long day by continuing onto Rhinog Fawr and back. Bit of a long boggy walk either in our out depending on which way you do it. I’ve put the walk in rather than out. Great campsite at Cae Adda SH691353. Small. Quiet. Great location. Distance: 12 miles (using footpath descent off Rhinog Fach) Going: Demanding. Some rough ground. Boggy in places. PRoW and FPs not always clear. Route finding necessary. 1. Park at CP on Graigddu Isaf road SH684302. Follow PRoW then TL at big JNCT SH674285 (still in forestry commission) onto forestry road to OA boundary at SH680278. TR to wall JNCT and after 200m TL along wall CB 145 to 407m ring contour SH682270. Continue to next wall JNCT and TR to 400m ring contour with crags SH681266. From here descend to track following rough CB 185. Continue to clear track at ruin SH678257 heading for Hafod y Brenhin SH676249, CB 200. 2. From Hafod y Brenhin follow PRoW on forestry track to where FP starts at SH679232, CB 280, at wall/fence JNCT. Follow path up to Diffwys summit SH661233. NOTE: FP goes to 688m ring contour and you need to TL to go up Diffwys, CB 228; alternative is to choose suitable point of departure from FP and route find up Diffwys. -
Ucheldir Y Gogledd Part 1: Description
LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 1: UCHELDIR Y GOGLEDD PART 1: DESCRIPTION SUMMARY OF LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES Ucheldir y Gogledd forms the first significant upland landscape in the northern part of the National Park. It includes a series of peaks - Moel Wnion, Drosgl, Foel Ganol, Pen y Castell, Drum, Carnedd Gwenllian, Tal y Fan and Conwy Mountain rising between 600 and 940m AOD. The area extends from Bethesda (which is located outside the National Park boundary) in the west to the western flanks of the Conwy valley in the east. It also encompasses the outskirts of Conwy to the north to form an immediate backdrop to the coast. 20 LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 1: UCHELDIR Y GOGLEDD KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA1 Dramatic and varied topography; rising up steeply from the Conwy coast Sychnant Pass SSSI, in the north-east of the LCA, comprising dry heath, acid at Penmaen-bach Point to form a series of mountains, peaking at Foel-Fras grassland, bracken, marshland, ponds and streams – providing a naturalistic backdrop (942 metres). Foothills drop down from the mountains to form a more to the nearby Conwy Estuary. intricate landscape to the east and west. Wealth of nationally important archaeological features including Bronze Age Complex, internationally renowned geological and geomorphological funerary and ritual monuments (e.g. standing stones at Bwlch y Ddeufaen), prominent landscape, with a mixture of igneous and sedimentary rocks shaped by Iron Age hillforts (e.g. Maes y Gaer and Dinas) and evidence of early settlement, field ancient earth movements and exposed and re-modelled by glaciation. systems and transport routes (e.g.
