Lees & 10 team travelled in RL 65AF19 (borrowed from MT while awaiting wrong exhaust valve (ex works ?!) being replaced in 58AE94) with the landrover & trailer to Ogwen where a temporary base was set up in the car park at the end of the lake. A drizzle & low cloud down to 1500' (base at 984') The team split into 2 groups to explore the crags of Carnedd y Filiast (Waven Slab 623628) & Creigiau Gleision (Cwm Goch) (635611). The 4 who went to Waven Slab did not really have time to complete the ascent so contented themselves with peering at each large slab disappearing into the cloud & scrambled about discovering the geography. The other five climbed over heathery rock amongst "stubborn & rebellious vegetables" & reached the top of Creigiau Gleision without deciding which shattered ridge was which in the cloud. Down to base in the dark - rather wet & slippery in vibram soled boots! Sausage & 2000 vegg brew & returned to Valley later. Remarks NCO i/c MRT A most instructive afternoon & evening. The Creigiau Gleision climbs may not be of great use as normal elementary training climbs but good for more experienced ones particularly as pre-Alpine training - in a hard winter the ridges there would be first class. A comparatively unknown corner of our area, yet within a mile & a half of the A5. 27/10 Remarks Officer i/c Mountain Rescue A well spent afternoon. There must be many 'lesser explored' places in our area and afternoons spent in this way are very useful. 28/10 Fl. Lt Remarks O.C.F.W.

He returned to find a new type of 'bedouin pattern' cooking shelter being erected, after some severe climbing had placed a rope between 2 large trees. 1600 While a meal was being prepared by Hudson & Major the remainder went to Capel pinnacles for an hour or so Cpl/T Gray took one group on the slab (much harder than it looks!) behind the Bryn garage while Fg Off Andrews & FS Lees took the other a little further up to the very popular wall where Plas y Brenin (CCPR) often train. Time for one or 2 ascents & much abseil practice - joined just before dark by Bray's party who were able to join in. 5 1800 Returned towards food - Sunday 26th October A dull misty morning with a suggestion of sun higher up - the inexperienced navigators to try their luck with Major to keep an eye on them while 6 rock climbed. 0930 Major, O'shea, Mackenzie, Hitchings - Glandena - Pen yr olewen Carnedd Llewelyn - Canberra wreckage - Cwm Llyfnant - Craig yr Ysfa - Pen Llithrig y Wrach - Anson - Carfnant - Mt Carmel Anson - base. 1.

Descended by the Bristly Ridge to Bwlch Tyrfan, & hence by moon & starlight to the exit from Llyn Bochlwyd. Below was the sea of cloud which made navigation interesting 1820 down to Ogwen, the landrover & the waiting party 2. 3 2000 Set out for RAF Valley where the sky had been overcast all day - the boot is usually on the other foot, so the M.R.T. might well be excused their superior feelings & suggestion of sunburn!! Remarks NCO i/c MRT Rather nice not to have a rucksack full of wet kit to hang up on the Sunday night! 27/10 Remarks Officer i/c MRT A most interesting weekend, Both the weather and the climbing was the most enjoyable I have had with the team and although I came in for a fair share of 'harrowing' - getting stuck in 'corkscrew chimney' for example - I would not have wished myself elsewhere. 28/10 FgOff Remarks O.

LR 35AA73 & trailer 1530 Camp set up by Plas y Brenin 107/715579. A dark overcast afternoon, promising rain which descended as soon as NCO i/c mentioned spending the last hour of daylight at Capel Pinnacles. 6 Sunday 2nd October November 0745 Mr C B Briggs BEM M.R. organiser (civ) for the district called and asked for our support. Two climbers missing last night - they had gone from Quellyn to climb on Clogwyn du'r Arddu. A search party was already leaving Snowdon Ranger with Mr J. Gianelli & CBB was leaving shortly with a few climbers from Ynys Ettws. F.S. lees arranged additional support parties to be available at Idwal Cottage if required & then with Team to Llanberis police station where a radio link was set up & 1000? NRCC informed 1012 Met just above Halfway House by a girl sent down with message to go round to top of crag as the 2 missing people (Mr Bryan MAYES & Miss Jill SUTTON, medical students of St Mary's Hosp. Paddington) were stuck below the overhang of the penultimate pitch of Longland's climb (VS). 1130 approx CBB met at top of crag. Several C.C. men - Messers John Neil, Dave Thomas & John Turner had already established contact - Turner took a 300' rope down & the large party at the top (Mr Joe Gianelli & 20 from Quellyn valley as well) towed the two people up - the man had damaged his ankles & was carried down by the combined civ & Service party. 1500 Informed RCC & returned to Capel Curig. Back to Valley in the evening. Remarks NCO i.c MRT Useful work; although on this occasion it could have been handled by the civilian rescue organisation it was thought at first that this may have been an occasion for much dangling on 500 ft ropes where our superior team work 5 & training would have been of value. Today also demonstrated the need to know our area - visibility throughout was 30 yards in low cloud: for 2 or 3 minutes whilst at the top of the cliff. There were gaps when new chaps could orientate themselves perhaps; on the ascent & descent there was no such help. R/T communications good. 25/11/58 NCO i/c Remarks Officer i/c MRT F/O Remarks OC Flying Wing Wg. Cdr.

  • 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.

  • Glyder Fawr Detailed Press Release Final
    A New Welsh Super Mountain? What on earth is a Super Mountain?? There is no dictionary definition of this and it is a phrase composed purely by ourselves. So what do we, that is G and J Surveys, mean? Until the publication of Ordnance Survey 1:50000 (Landranger) maps in the early 1970s we predominantly used imperial measurements for both distance and height; this despite the kilometre-based National Grid. British hills and mountains were measured against key benchmark heights, notably 1000, 2000 and 3000feet – good solid round numbers! However, once the metric system was introduced on Ordnance Survey maps, these benchmark heights became 304.8, 609.6 and 914.4metres, hardly memorable numbers! So if we go metric to “define” mountains, the obvious benchmark height is 1000 metres. That’s fine for those who live in Scotland where there are 137 mountains reaching the 1000m mark, but what about south of the border? Well, there are only four mountains over this height and lucky Wales has them all. So, for rarity value we have adopted the phrase Super Mountain. What are the Welsh Super Mountains? Of course, heading the list is Snowdon (1085m) followed by the adjacent Crib y Ddysgl (1065m). Following closely behind and in the north of the Snowdonia National Park are Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m) and finally Carnedd Dafydd (1044m). Does anyone care? Well yes, quite a few people do. For example Wales plays host to many mountain events, one familiar to tourists on the Snowdon Mountain railway being the Snowdon Race. But, another equally famous is the Welsh 1000m Peaks Race, where competitors visit all the Welsh 1000m summits within a given time limit.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1. BALA ZONE OF INFLUENCE 3 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 What’s it like now? 1.2. This zone covers Penllyn rural hinterland covering the community councils of Llanuwchllyn, Llandderfel, Llangywer, Llanycil and Bala and has a population of 4,362 according to the 2011 Census. The landscape is rural in character with scattered farmsteads and small villages. The zone includes Llyn Tegid (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Celyn, Arenig Fawr and parts of the Aran Fawddwy. The main service centre for the area is the market town of Bala. Penllyn has strong traditions based on the Welsh language and culture.
