Apology Cllr. Judith Humphreys. 1. Chairman’s Announcements (i) The Chairman advised that although a Notice of the Meeting had been published and the Agenda and reports were available on the Authority’s website, the meeting was not open to the public. He reported that the meeting was being recorded to assist in verifying the minutes and also advised that following the decision to delay the Authority’s Annual General Meeting, which should have taken place on the 3rd of June, further discussions on the appointment of members to various Committees, would take place at the Members’ Working Group on 1st July 2020. (ii) The Chairman welcomed Mr. Tim Jones, the newly appointed Welsh Government Member, to his first Authority meeting and also congratulated Ms. Tracey Evans on her re-appointment to the Authority for a further term of 4 years. (iii) The Chairman was pleased to welcome Mr. Brian Angell and Mr. Dafydd Edwards, who were both continuing to recover following recent illnesses, to the meeting. (iv) Covid-19 The Chairman did not wish to repeat the detailed update provided by the Chief Executive at the recent Working Group meeting but gave an outline of the main points:- - Regulations: Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (Wales) 2020, have allowed the Authority to take steps to close car parks and restrict access to Snowdon, Ogwen, Cadair Idris, Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy, which represents 11% of the area of the Snowdonia National Park. The regulations will remain in place until 26th September 2020. A recent review by officers did not extend the present restrictions at Llyn Tegid, which remains open to people who can reach it. 3 - the English National Parks have no such legislation and the recent relaxation of the rules in England had caused problems for the National Parks in the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and the Lake District. - The Chairman thanked the staff from all three Welsh National Parks for their work. The media campaign had been effective with only a few incidents reported, mainly outside National Park boundaries. A joint statement would be issued by the Welsh National Park Authorities before the next Bank Holiday weekend. - The Chairman thanked Members for volunteering and supporting their local communities and thanked the Authority’s staff for their work. - The Chairman referred to the First Minister’s statement for “Unlocking our society and economy: continuing the conversation” released on Friday 15th May 2020 and outlined the main points as follows:- we can only move forward with care the choices were limited for easing the current restrictions, so difficult decisions need to be made a traffic light system will define how restrictions on various aspects of life can begin to be eased and will outline steps on how to relax the restrictions from red, to amber to green. the traffic light system will be based on different categories, which will include seeing family and friends, reopening schools and childcare, working or running a business, playing sport games and relaxing. decisions will be made on a step by step basis subject to evidence that the virus was being managed. Welsh Government will be developing further advice in the next 10 days in consultation with partners, although the Welsh National Park Authorities were not included in these discussions at present. further guidance on agriculture and woodlands will be considered in due course. - the Chairman confirmed that the First Minister would be releasing his next statement on the 29th May 2020. - the Chairman invited Members’ views on two questions before he presents a discussion paper to Members on the challenges of Covid-19 for Eryri. Question 1 – what, in your opinion, will be the likely changes in attitude, behaviour, and activities of people, whether they live in or are visiting, the Snowdonia National Park and the challenges this presents in the context of the climate crisis? Question 2 – how can the Authority respond to the long term implications of the “New Normal” when:- fulfilling our statutory purposes and duty. conserving and enhancing our nine special qualities. reviewing our corporate aims and priorities and ways of working. - the Chairman will circulate the discussion paper by the end of the week, to facilitate either online discussions or comments by email, in order to prepare a report to the next meeting of the Members’ Working Group on the 1st July 2020. - the Chairman welcomed the paper circulated by Neil Martinson which had raised a number of questions and issues for lifting the restrictions. He advised that the Chief Executive would be circulating an update for members, staff and the community on the implications of the Welsh Government paper “Unlocking our Society and Economy” to address some, if not most, of these questions. The Chairman advised that the Welsh 4 National Park Authorities had little or no influence on the timetable and that Members should focus their attention on longer term questions. Members noted the Chairman’s report and discussed the following in detail:- - a Member stated that according to Statutory Instruments, National Park Authorities were authorised to make the decision on when to lift the restrictions. He asked the Director of Corporate Services to clarify this matter. Also, as this was clearly not business as usual, current processes, including how the Authority communicates, will need to change to deal with situations that will emerge over the coming months and years. - in response, the Director of Corporate Services clarified the Regulations which state that the restrictions should stay in place until such time as the Authority feels they are no longer necessary. Any future decision taken by the Authority to lift restrictions, would be in consultation with Gwynedd Council, Conwy County Borough Council, Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Government. - a Member asked whether staff were working on an internal post Covid-19 recovery plan and whether Members would be asked for their input? Many organisations had individual recovery plans and the Authority needed to be prepared for future statements from the Welsh Government. - the Chief Executive, in response, explained that there were many levels to the Authority’s Recovery Plan. The Authority was proceeding on a regional basis and there was also a technical risk assessment procedure in place for officers to meet on a weekly basis to consider the evidence.

  • 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.

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering
    Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains.

  • 1 the Miles of Aran Fawddwy
    1 The Miles of Aran Fawddwy John Morgan 2015 Location (summit): 52º47'16.8" N, 3º41'17.3" W Poem: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jpm/visual/istheland/aran-climb.html#footofthehill This document: http://users.aber.ac.uk/jpm/visual/istheland/aranfawddwy.pdf Aran Fawddwy is the highest mountain in the Aran group in south-east Snowdonia, Wales. Standing at 907 metres/2975 feet, it is the highest mountain short of 3000 feet in Wales. In keeping with the Rhinog Mountains, neighbouring range to the Arans— and visible along the ridge from Glasgwm to the summit of Aran Fawddwy, measurements of distance can be psychologically and physiologically misleading. ‘Rhinog miles’ are said to be treacherous things full of wet, springy swampland, sharp rocks hidden beneath brushwood, brackens and tufted grasses and sudden disorienting cloud cover that renders navigation by all but a compass quite difficult. While walking along the ridge from Glasgwm it is easy to be taunted by the deception of the Rhinog miles, only here they are conceived as ‘Aran miles’. ‘The Miles of Aran Fawddwy’ follows a 7.2 mile misshapen parallelogram route from the valley of Cym Cywarch just outside Dinas Mawddwy, upwards to the north-west beneath the ridge of Glasgwm, north-east to the summit, south-east along the ridge of Drws Bach, beneath the summit of Drwsgol and south-west down the valley of Hengwm back to the starting point. The directions are significant to the alternative layouts of the poem, with the portrait version representing the climb itself and the landscape version representing a flattened version of the parallelogram ridge described above.

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.
