Guided Walks and Events Programme Spring 2014 Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS PROGRAMME SPRING 2014 Most of these walks go into the hills.

A whistle and torch should be carried, particularly during the winter months. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities.

Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace. Energetic walks generally involve two steep climbs but they will still require determined application. Moderate walks will seldom have steep climbs but if they do the climb will be taken at a relaxed pace. Dogs (well controlled) are permitted unless stated otherwise in the programme. It should be noted that under the CROW Act, when taking dogs onto Open Access land they must be on a fixed lead, no more than two metres long, whenever livestock are near, and at ALL TIMES from 1st March to 31st July. Non-members of the Park Society will be asked to make a donation of £5.00 each per walk . Half price for the under 16’s, the unemployed and students.The fee is deductible from the membership fee on joining the Society within two months of the walk.

  • Ommatoiulus Moreleti (Lucas) and Cylindroiulus
    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 30 (2018) OMMATOIULUS MORELETI (LUCAS) AND CYLINDROIULUS PYRENAICUS (BRÖLEMANN) NEW TO THE UK (DIPLOPODA, JULIDA: JULIDAE) AND A NEW HOST FOR RICKIA LABOULBENIOIDES (LABOULBENIALES) Steve J. Gregory1, Christian Owen2, Greg Jones and Emma Williams 1 4 Mount Pleasant Cottages, Church Street, East Hendred, Oxfordshire, OX12 8LA, UK. E-mail: [email protected] 2 75 Lewis Street, Aberbargoed. CF8 19DZ, UK. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The schizophylline millipede Ommatoiulus moreleti (Lucas) and the cylindroiuline millipede Cylindroiulus pyrenaicus (Brölemann) (Julida: Julidae) are recorded new for the UK from a site near Bridgend, Glamorganshire, in April 2017. An unidentified millipede first collected in April 2004 from Kenfig Burrows, Glamorganshire, is also confirmed as being C. pyrenaicus. Both species are described and illustrated, enabling identification. C. pyrenaicus is reported as a new host for the Laboulbeniales fungus Rickia laboulbenioides. Summary information is provided on habitat preferences of both species in South Wales and on their foreign distribution and habitats. It is considered likely that both species have been unintentionally introduced into the UK as a consequence of industrial activity in the Valleys of south Wales. INTRODUCTION The genera Ommatoiulus Latzel, 1884 and Cylindroiulus Verhoeff, 1894 (Julida: Julidae) both display high species diversity (Kime & Enghoff, 2017). Of the 47 described species of Ommatoiulus the majority are found in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula (ibid). Currently, just one species, Ommatoiulus sabulosus (Linnaeus, 1758), is known from Britain and Ireland, a species that occurs widely across northern Europe (Kime, 1999) and in Britain reaches the northern Scottish coastline (Lee, 2006).

  • Welcome Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire
    A newsletter for Volunteers and Friends of Monmouthshire Countryside Service Issue 28 July 2016 If you would like to receive this newsletter in Welsh please contact Morag Sinton. Welcome In this issue of the newsletter you’ll find updates on Pathcare, bridge surveying and other rights of way projects, a newcomer’s guide to countryside sites in southern Monmouthshire, and the guided walks programme till September. There is much to enjoy in Monmouthshire’s countryside over the summer, so I hope you’ll take the chance to get out there and let us know what you find. If you have comments or questions or would like to contribute to future newsletters please contact Morag Sinton, Countryside Volunteer Coordinator on 01633 644663 or [email protected] Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire From January to June I worked an extra four hours per week, checking five sites in the south east of Monmouthshire. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and watching as we have moved from the bare depths of winter to the leafy abundance of early summer. Here is a whirlwind tour, with some of the highlights of what I have seen. I hope you’ll be inspired to visit too. Abbey Tintern Furnace and Lower Wireworks car park are in the Angidy Valley above Tintern. They are on the route of the long distance Tewdrig Trail from Tintern to Mathern, as well as the Angidy Trail which links all the industrial archaeological sites in the valley. In early May the banks at Abbey Tintern Furnace were awash with cowslips, more than I have ever seen together before.
