  • The Monthly Newsletter of the Gwydyr Mountain Club
    THE GWYDYRNo33(DEC/Jan 2012/13) THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF THE GWYDYR MOUNTAIN CLUB Hello all, happy new year and hope everyone had a good Christmas Think it’s best to start with a new year’s message from Andy Chapman :- Happy new year Just come back from my 4th ascent of Aconcagua, this time 8 out of 11 summited on summit day last Sunday. Not too bad for this mountain very windy at base camp. Many tents destroyed. One client had major difficulties in descent, something of a epic 15 hrs day for me helping her, she has also met Margaret at some point in the Lake District. Thankfully no frost bite or altitude sickness at all, also its still growing by 2 cm a year, one day it could be higher than Everest. Flying home via Brazil tomorrow. Andrew Also for those who haven’t checked their emails too closely over the Christmas period Dave Gray has made a couple of alterations to his January walks :- Dear All DAY TRIPS IN JANUARY 2013 – SATURDAYS 4 and 19: CHANGES TO PLAN I hope everyone has had a great Christmas but we have had a lot of rain and those people who have been out will have found the ground very saturated. And we have more rain forecast. For that reason I propose to change the venues for my two Saturday walks in January 2013, in the hopes of not having people sprawling in mud. I hope everyone will feel this is sensible rather than just sticking blindly to plan A! 1.

  • 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).

N O INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION MAY MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN IN DOING SO WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION OF MUD AND ROUTES MOUNTAINS OF WALES A L IST WELSH AND SIX HUNDRED IN STATURE (WASHIS) PB7 2 What are the WASHIS? Well, Scotland has it’s Munros (among others) and the Lakes have their Wain- rights. Wales doesn’t have a list of summits in it’s own right. While there are hills known as Nualls, they are not specific to Wales and include an ever in- creasing list of summits with 30 metres drop all around, making for a long list. It is also rather patronising for the Welsh and English hills (which I do not con- cern myself with here) to be included with that of a neighbouring country. Some lists also sck to the old imperial figure of 2000 feet making a mountain, or 610 metres, which really is rather clumsy in metric. Washis are all the hills in Wales that are over 600m and have at least 50 me- tres drop all around. Some notable tops have not made it into the main list, including some of the tradional ‘3000 Footers’. There are some other sum- mits missing from the list. Y Garn on the Nantlle ridge for one, an excellent viewpoint or Bera Mawr, an excellent lile scramble to the summit tor. Fan Y Big in the Beacons fails to make it too. Just because they’re not on the list, doesn’t mean they’re not worth vising.
