  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Community Infrastructure 13
    Background Paper 13: Community Infrastructure 13 February Gwynedd & Môn Joint Local Development Plan 2015 [Type text] Topic Paper 13: Infrastructure Background This is one of a range of topic papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the Plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at community infrastructure. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives and options for the Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage in the preparation of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption. When adopted the JLDP will supersede the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (2009) for the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and the Gwynedd Structure Plan (1993) and Ynys Môn Local Plan (1996) for the Ynys Môn Local Planning Authority. This topic paper can be read in isolation or in conjunction with the other Topic Papers and Background Papers that have been prepared to give a full picture the Joint Local Development Plan Area. You may refer to the Topic Paper as a basis for making comments about the Deposit Plan.
