  • 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.

As it says, ALL LDWA walks – challenge and social – have been cancelled. The NEC statement came just as this newsletter was in the final stages of being put together, so the editor has had to make some hasty re-jigs to some of the stories – including those relating to the Y 100 Sir Fynwy, which has been cancelled (as this newsletter went to press, members of the NEC were meeting to make a decision on next year’s Hundred – there will be more about this in the August Strider). The LDWA has continued to monitor Her Majesty's Government advice in relation to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Mae’n ymdrin â 31 o gilometrau sgwâr o weundir wedi’i amgáu ym Mharc Cenedlaethol Eryri, lle cafodd 555 o safleoedd archaeolegol eu cofnodi, 20 o’r rheiny wedi’u cofnodi o’r blaen yn y Cofnod Henebion Cenedlaethol.

Since the early years of the twentieth century European ecologists have been attempting to devise systems of classification based solely upon the study of the vegetation itself (i.e. its floristic composition, structure, development and distribution) whereas British ecologists have placed more emphasis on the relationship of plants with their habitat. Phytosociology is strictly the name given to the European system but is often loosely used to refer to any system of vegetation classification.
