Wales: Yr Wyddfa AKA Snowdon: Beauty spot selfies 'adding to mountain pressures'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3geglz0qy4o Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team said a rising trend of callouts at Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon, could become unsustainable. Angela Jones, from Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, said “social media has caused over capacity” at popular locations leading to issues including erosion, as well as pressure on car parks and rescue services. About 600,000 people climb the peak annually with the wider park seeing an influx since the Covid…

Wales first UK nation to drop motoring speed limit from 30mph to 20mph

[image] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66774379 Speed limits in built-up areas will be reduced from 30mph to 20mph in Wales on Sunday - a UK first that has caused controversy with some drivers. The law will change the speed limit on about 35% of Welsh roads where lamp-posts are no more than 200 yards (183m) apart. The Welsh government said the £32.5m cost to rollout the new nationwide speed limit was “outweighed” by reduced impact on the NHS and emergency services, which one study said…

Llanberis mountain rescuers face burnout after busiest year

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-67758217 Llanberis Mountain Rescue assists those in need in the mountains surrounding Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, in Gwynedd.

Calennig-Welsh New Year

What is calennig? A well-known Welsh tradition, still seen in some areas, is the collection of calennig (New Year’s gift) where children rise early and carry from door to door, as bearers of good luck, a decorated apple, pierced with three sticks and adorned with a sprig of box and hazelnuts. The children usually sing a simple verse and in return usually received a gift or food or money for their troubles. Rhymes and songs were concisely worded and their message was to announce the New Year’s a…
