Report by the Director of Planning and Land Management (1) NP5/71/AD38A – Installation of 5 information panels, Caer Gai, Llanuwchllyn. Reported – Case Officer presented the report and the detailed background. Public Speaking Mr. Tomos Jones, the Applicant, addressed the Planning and Access Committee and asked Members to consider the following:- - the applicant thanked Members for raising their concerns. - the National Park ecologist has undertaken a site visit and raised no concerns. If any nests are found, then the work would stop until the end of the nesting season and any moss will be moved etc. - the use of steel was felt to be appropriate on a working farm. - this is partly a maintenance project which provides access and interpretation for visitors. - it would be difficult to convey the full history of the site, from the Roman settlements to the civil war, with less than 5 panels. - the project aims to cater for all audiences and more information will be available on the National Park website. - a panel referring to the legend of King Arthur will also be included. - the project delivers on National Park purposes. Arising thereon, Members made the following observations:- - Members welcomed the scheme and the use of the standard national park colour pallet. - Members asked officers to work at encouraging walkers to the site. The website could provide information on how to get to Caer Gai and information panels could be erected along the long access track. - Members asked officers to consider methods other than panels in future, such as developing QR codes, providing drone overviews, 3D models etc. Officers advised that all this was being considered but as the technology was in its infancy, problems had been encountered. - Members suggested preparing leaflets to market the site from other tourist properties run by the Authority, such as Yr Ysgwrn, Plas Tan y Bwlch and the Information Centres. - Glanllyn could provide a young audience, and local schools were also a target market. Members will also visit during a Member Development Day. - RESOLVED to grant permission in accordance with recommendation. 3 6. Update Reports (1) Enforcement Notices, Listed Building Enforcement Notices served under delegated powers and List of Compliance Cases – For Information Arising thereon, NP3/21/ENF35C & 35D – Pant Hwfa, Llanllechid Officers advised that the delay was due to the applicants changing their Agent. A deadline of May 2019 has now been agreed for submitting a planning application. NP5/61/ENF23P – Untidy Condition of Building, St. David’s Hotel Harlech. Members were advised of the current position. RESOLVED to note the report. (2) Planning, Enforcement Notices and Certificates of Lawful Use Appeals submitted and awaiting decision – For Information RESOLVED to note the report. (3) Section 106 Agreements – For Information RESOLVED to note the report.

    METHS REPORT: Beddgelert/Nantmor July 7th to 11th - 2014 Peter and Antonia Tolhurst, Martin and Miriam Horrocks, David Leishman, Nigel and Jenny Horrocks, Stephen and Pauline Ward, Sue Glover (Miller) and Alan, Richard Gray (Tuesday only), Dave and Jan Bullock (Guests). Staying at: Tywyn self catering cottage and Studio, Nantmor - near Beddgelert, Gwynedd; also at Plas Tan y Graig, Bed and Breakfast, Beddgelert. To Afon Glaslyn did all descend, a shimmering serpent, stalking us from beginning to end. Riverside walk, Bistro, greetings, endless talk, retire to Nantmor. Head Chef Dave (L), breakfast made; ‘butties’ team - Antonia, Jenny, Jan - cheese salmon rocket or ham? - they made the grade! Cwm Bychan, steam trains, haunting whistles, mine workings, path builders, Llyn Dinas; Dave (B) Jan Pauline Jenny – left for Beddgelert, t’others right to Cwm Nant- mor – woods, river, rain, long walk, back home - dry again. Swim, sunbathe, tea and scones, chat. The Royal Goat lounge, decor dated, cheerful crowd, hunger sated. Roman road, route to Cnicht, ancient bridge, pace ‘quicked’; perfect day, Porth- madog behind, Siabod ahead, Snowdon left, Ffestiniog right; Bogs ahead – out of sight. Cwmorthin Quarry abandoned beckons, 55,000 tons of slates (1935) to Germany, even Melbourne – on Porthmadog built ships (250) – good heavens. Cwm Croesor quarried to death, dams, shafts, levels, abandoned rail tracks, we pause for breath. Dave (L) and Steve forge ahead Croesor bound, lift home, tea and scones - again! Dave Jan and Jenny waited, brilliant braai created, in garden splendid elevated. ‘Braai master’ Martin did us proud. By sparkling Glaslyn north bound, Gelert’s Grave - mythical hound; iron horse steaming by, flanks of Hebog, climbing steady, dry, Beddgelert way down below.

    CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Rhagfyr/December 2016 50c/50p BRO CYFEILIOG a MAWDDWY. Rheithordy Mallwyd Advent is the time of preparation for a journey, the beginning of Jesus' journey home to his Father, our God. The journey begins with planning and prophecies, and then a joyful send off – the birth of Jesus in the Bethlehem stable. This is the incarnation, “God with us” Julie and I had a week's holiday in Yorkshire recently, staying in the very pleasant town of Skipton. It is nice to have time to read, and so, perhaps appropriately, I read a book by the poet Simon Armitage, called “Walking Home,”describing his walk along the Pennine Way, which passes not far from Skipton. He walked for 2 weeks, in mid summer, through mist and heavy rain. Simon Armitage's book is full of vivid anecdotes, one in particular has stuck in my mind. He tells the story of friends of his, who were also walking the Pennine Way. Setting off one morning from a small Yorkshire Dales' village, to walk the 15 – 20 miles over the moors to their next overnight stop, they are joined by an ever so friendly dog, a golden retriever. They give it such a fuss, that it continues to follow them up the hill. As their village passes out of sight the first twinges of concern begin. “Hey Goldie, it is time that you turned back for home.” But no, Goldie is perfectly happy tagging along! Well surely this dog knows what it is doing, probably follows walkers every day.
