    National Landscape Character 31/03/2014 NLCA06 Snowdonia Eryri – Disgrifiad cryno Dyma fro eang, wledig, uchel, sy’n cyd-ffinio’n fras â Pharc Cenedlaethol Eryri. Ei nodwedd bennaf yw ei mynyddoedd, o ba rai yr Wyddfa yw mynydd uchaf Cymru a Lloegr, yn 3560’ (1085m) o uchder. Mae’r mynyddoedd eraill yn cynnwys y Carneddau a’r Glyderau yn y gogledd, a’r Rhinogydd a Chadair Idris yn y de. Yma ceir llawer o fryndir mwyaf trawiadol y wlad, gan gynnwys pob un o gopaon Cymru sy’n uwch na 3,000 o droedfeddi. Mae llawer o nodweddion rhewlifol, gan gynnwys cribau llymion, cymoedd, clogwyni, llynnoedd (gan gynnwys Llyn Tegid, llyn mwyaf Cymru), corsydd, afonydd a rhaeadrau. Mae natur serth y tir yn gwneud teithio’n anodd, a chyfyngir mwyafrif y prif ffyrdd i waelodion dyffrynnoedd a thros fylchau uchel. Yn ddaearegol, mae’n ardal amrywiol, a fu â rhan bwysig yn natblygiad cynnar gwyddor daeareg. Denodd sylw rhai o sylfaenwyr yr wyddor, gan gynnwys Charles Darwin, a archwiliodd yr ardal ym 1831. Y mae ymhell, fodd bynnag, o fod yn ddim ond anialdir uchel. Am ganrifoedd, bu’r ardal yn arwydd ysbryd a rhyddid y wlad a’i phobl. Sefydlwyd bwrdeistrefi Dolgellau a’r Bala yng nghyfnod annibyniaeth Cymru cyn y goresgyniad Eingl-normanaidd. Felly, hefyd, llawer o aneddiadau llai ond hynafol fel Dinas Mawddwy. O’i ganolfan yn y Bala, dechreuodd y diwygiad Methodistaidd ar waith trawsffurfio Cymru a’r ffordd Gymreig o fyw yn y 18fed ganrif a’r 19eg. Y Gymraeg yw iaith mwyafrif y trigolion heddiw.

Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) is committed to the protection and conservation of all aspects of the environment, including the night sky, and as such supports the mission and goals of the IDA. The Authority believes that achieving IDSR status for the SNP will further raise the profile of the Light Pollution issue in Wales following the successful application from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority in 2013. It will assist SNPA in gaining support in protecting the excellent quality of dark skies which we already have in Snowdonia from the general public, business, and politicians, and to improve it further where needed.

    The Paddy Buckley 24 hour record (and how not to break it) Rob Woodall he arrival of an unexpected batch of old photos Tfrom a friend set me down the road of unearth- ing the history of my 3 year’s of attempts on Adrian Belton’s 1989 record (51 peaks including all the Welsh 3000ft summits [technically excluding the then recently promoted Garnedd Uchaf which he unknowingly ran right past] ) for an extended Paddy Buckley Welsh Classical Round – a record which still stands, although I came close and a few others have tried it, including Mark Hartell a decade ago, and just this July, Tim Higginbottom. With the 24-hour Munros record falling at last, relocating this year to the Cairngorms, and the 1997 Lake District 24-hour record under annual assault, this longest standing 24-hour record seems overdue for some serious attention. Beware though – Belton was in the form of his life and made it look much easier than it is, completing in an outrageous 22 hours on a very hot day. My first and best attempt was 19 July 1997. After a scratch Bob Graham Round the previous year with nd Above and right: Boundary Ridge Mick Saunders and Andy Illidge (2 time lucky, road- side support) - for the Paddy I enlist the consider- able talents of Wynn and Steve Cliff and Yiannis Tridimas (Steve and Yiannis had done an extended PBR the previous year), along with Alan Duncan, Ronnie Jackson, Gordon Johnson, Rick Robson, Wayne Percival and Chris Taylor.

  • The Welsh 3000S Trip Code: WTT
    The Welsh 3000s Trip code: WTT Overview Total 1 day n/a Difficulty: Hiking 1 day Wales, UK All year round “More Adventure were amazing. The hike was very well organised and our guides made the challenge fun. I will definitely be doing more challenges with these guys!” Paul, 2018 ​ Tackle all fifteen peaks in Wales above 3000 feet in under 24 hours - this is the Welsh 3000s, one of the ​ ​ most iconic challenges in the UK. This incredible 42km adventure is an unforgettable journey on two feet through the wild landscape of Snowdonia National Park. The official challenge is completed in under 24 hours, but we think completing it in any time should be on everyone’s bucket list! It is a fully guided and supported event, allowing you to focus on the epic scenery of this unique region of the UK. Highlights ● The breathtaking mountain scenery of Snowdonia National Park ● Embracing the physical challenge of tackling fifteen mountains ● Experiencing the awe-inspiring wilderness and beauty of North Wales ● Sharing the adventure of a lifetime with your other team members ● Completing a unique iconic mountain challenge ● Encountering the wild ponies of the Carneddau, our favourite mountain residents Itinerary Our route begins from the popular Pen y Pas car park at the top of the Llanberis Pass. Here you’ll meet the rest of the group and your leaders. There are toilets available and you’ll also be able to place a bag with extra snacks, clothing and drinks in our support vehicle for our planned refreshment stop. After a safety brief, overview of the day and kit check, we’ll begin by following the Pyg track then embark upon arguably the most technically demanding section of the challenge, the narrow edge of Crib Goch.

  • Yr Wyddfa I Foel Fras Mewn Diwrnod
    Yr Wyddfa i Foel Fras mewn diwrnod Challenges can be considered a bit naff, and I’d agree being in the hills isn’t just about proving or conquering. But sometimes the thought of doing something just gets in your head and gnaws away. Shane and I had our first go at the Welsh 3000s last year and after all it is a magnificent line. You simply start at one end and string together all the 3000ft tops until you’ve got to the top of all 14 (or is it 15), following a meandering but satisfying succession of ridges and whaleback plateaus. Everyone knows the Snowdon horseshoe, the round of the Glyders and the Carneddau, each a straight forward day walk so linking them appeals just as a logical thing to do. Our first attempt got us to Ogwyn. That was the point when we both realised that perhaps it wasn’t that easy. Forty kilometers is fair enough, but actually you need to go up and down 4000m and then also add on a couple of 6k walks at the start and end. What Finlay Wild does in 4 hours translates into considerably more of a challenge for most middle aged punters. The frustrating thing was that after the first go at we both knew we had got pretty close. Although in terms of distance Ogwyn is only half way, you realise that once at the top of Pen Y Ole Wen the major difficulties are over. And that’s why it was gnawing away, we were keen to try again.
