We reach a road where we turn left and a short walk along it brings us to another track on our right. We start to climb gradually westwards to meet a path on our right which heads northwards and eventually brings us to a Manor House. Here we follow field paths to bring us to the foot of Ashurst Beacon. Lunch will be taken at the Beacon. After lunch we start to descend, following field paths and with a bit of roadwork, until we reach the Leeds / Liverpool Canal at Bridge 40 and the last mile back to the car park. It was muddy here, muddy there, muddy nearly everywhere. (Yippee!)

Editor: Maurice Bradbury Please note – All Walk details must be in 2 (TWO) weeks before each coach excursion. Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: A Llyn Ogwen, B+ Capel Curig, B, & C Betws-y-Coed Toilets at Betws-y-Coed car park are 20p …. Yes 20p!!!!, there are some free toilets in the town (over river bridge). Tryfan and Y G lyderau with Dave Colbert . Grade A Distance 5 miles / 8 km Climbing 3300ft / 1000m This walk is about rock, lots and lots of rock, and is probably one of the shortest ‘A’ walks on record, but arguably one of the best. However, it is a serious mountain route requiring sustained and in places exposed scrambling. Poor weather conditions such as strong winds and/or rain will necessitate an alternative route, details to be advised on the day. Tryfan (915m) rears up steeply from Llyn Ogwen to a narrow, triple-topped summit (hence the name), flanked on both sides by precipitous walls of rock buttressed with gullies. The narrow north ridge of the mountain provides one of the best scrambles in the ‘Caledonian’ mountains of Wales, particularly when combined with an ascent of Glyder Fach by the Bristly Ridge. We will be attempting both, a combined scramble of over 3,000ft. The twin summits of Glyder Fach (994m) and Glyder Fawr (999m) form the focal point of Y Glyderau, a magnificent range of mountains stretching for over 13km from Capel Curig to Bethesda. The summit of Glyder Fach is stacked with a chaotic maze of huge boulders and tilted slabs, including the infamous ‘Cantilever’, a huge slab of rock jutting out in perfect balance on top of a heap of enormous boulders. We then hop over the jagged tor of Castell y Gwynt, one of the weirdest rock formations to adorn any mountain summit in the British Isles. Beyond, the extensive plateau of Glyder Fawr is a wilderness of frost-splintered rocks. Finally, we descend alongside the dramatic cleft of Twll Du into Cwm Idwal, meeting the coaches at Ogwen Cottage. Mwynhau!! Crwydro Capel Curig with Pete Stevens Grade. B+ Distance 9½ miles / 15.3km Climbing 1450ft /442m 33 5m The walk today is one of contrast’s, varying from Mooreland to lakes, forests and river walking. Starting from the junction of the A5 and A4086 at Capel Curig (toilets available - free), we start our first climb of the day (gradual – 810ft 247m) to Blaen y nant, before dropping to Llyn (Lake) Crafnant Reservoir. Rounding the Reservoir to the other side, we start our second ascent of the day (360ft 110m) as we climb out of the valley through the forest and down to Llyn (Lake) Geirionydd. From here we head out of this second valley climbing gradually (279ft 85m) through forest and then a short road walk to a Victorian Lead Mine near Tynymynydd. Leaving the road, we begin our gradual descent via Hafotypencraig and Diosgydd-isaf to the Miners Bridge; from here we follow the river (Afon) Llugwy back to the awaiting coaches in Betws – y –Coed. Woods and Waterfalls with Barry Hayhurst Grade B Distance 7 miles / 11.3km Climbing 804ft / 245m Victorians, Romans and some other bits in between. Today’s walk starts from the rear of St Mary’s Church, up a steep forestry road for a short distance before a sharp turn westwards leads across a slab bridge into woodland and along an adventurous path to Gatheryr (or what remains of it). Crossing through forestry plantations (peaty in places) brings us to the Ancaster Memorial overlooking Llyn Elsi (reservoir). Here we are offered an artist’s view of the highest mountain in Wales, Snowdon, and the conifers of Gwydyr Forest. Following the lake south, look out for nesting gulls and mallards on the islands. Leaving the lake we spend some time walking on forestry tracks through pine woods before turning north west along some boggy paths up to the abandoned mining hamlet of Rhiwddolion – beware of swooping raptors! This leads us onto one of the principal Roman Roads, Sarn Helen, now a very rough stony track that turns into river when it rains. Halfway down we make a detour through woodland, where we are offered some views of the Falls, ending on the very busy A5. Crossing here brings us to the Miners Bridge over the Afon Llugwy. A sharp turn east over the bridge takes us through woodland (be very careful on the exposed tree roots) and a pleasant stroll along the river – look out for wading birds – back to Betws. Llyn Parc with Bill Manning Grade C Distance 5 miles / 8km Climbing 500ft / 152m Starting from the main car park in Betws-y-Coed we head for the old stone bridge carrying the B5106 over Afon Lugwy. We crossing the river and take the first turn left after the bridge soon bearinf left to follow the riverside path. We reach a footbridge known as the Miners Bridge and turn right up the hillside path which rises to a lane where we continue up zigzag paths to some fields. Passing a farm on our left we cross a stile beside a conifer plantation. The walk continues through fields and forests and after a while we drop down to the outflow of Llyn Parc. The paths leading us back to Betws with its tea rooms and the coaches provide us with fine views of the Conwy valley and take us close to the rocks of Clogwyn Cyrrau. Please help to keep the coaches clean by removing muddy boots. Please check that you have all your belongings and take newspapers etc. away with you. Thank you. .

From there he proceeded to Christ’s College, Cambridge where he graduated adjoining Britain (including the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man and Anglesey) and an B.A. in 1522. Afterwards he studied at All Souls, Oxford, where he met Thomas Caius, engraved map of Britain. He also proposed to publish a full description of all Henry’s and at Paris under Francis Sylvius.

    FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter FORESTRY @BANGOR ALUMNI 2020 Newsletter Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor I am delighted to present to you a fantastic collation of just some of the many highlights relating to forestry at Bangor University over the past two years. In many ways, forestry epitomises the spirit of Bangor University: a bold, traditional, international and dynamic university. Perhaps what strikes me most about this newsletter is the incredible achievements of our students who take such pride in, and responsibility for, their own learning through the Bangor Forestry Students’ Association. It is a very rare student society that has the ambition to successfully take on the hosting a nine-day international meeting of forestry students and professionals! In time, current students will transform into alumni and young professionals with the capacity to make hugely positive contributions to society, to livelihoods, to biodiversity and to the health of our planet. And as measured by the achievements of our many alumni from the forestry and related programmes, the bar has been set very high, providing us all with inspiration and ambition. We are indebted to alumni for their generous and unconditional support. Yours, Professor Iwan R. Davies, President and Vice-Chancellor COVER PHOTO: Nepal 2019.

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering

    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.
