As best as possible I hope to have placed out this post with photos and links that describe area in relation to post purpose, any information given is given with the advice that you check all out yourselves on maps and relevant websites. Do in particular note that often the landscape changes, path ways become bueried by ferns and are eroded, not least the chopping down of trees can be confusing to say the least. Not least plan and prepare well and do not leave anything to chance, do inform people where you are going and how long you think you will be away plus keep in mind mobile phones do not always work high up in the mountains. See this blog below, excellent for views and advice, pay attention OK!
Pumlumon North 3-day backpack - v-g Backpacking in Britain

10 Aug 2009 – v-g Backpacking in Britain Blog. Backpacking and wild camping in Britain... in the north of the Pumlumon region as a framework for a route. ..All Glyndwr Rambling - Wayfaring Wales - Cenedl Glyndwr Trails- If possible would be marked out with a 'Tarian Glyndwr' but as that is not practical in reality, I have to take one along with me and place about. Then take photographs from time to time at locations as I go, to remind me of key places along trails in time I will maybe produce leaflets or blog posts marking out with maps these trails key locations with said shield. That's the idea anyway, getting around to it is another matter but get the gist of it all? Not least also keep in mind that Glyndwr's Ramblers is not just patriotic but also may be seen as political or as having purpose of all part of Social Justice popular protest campaigning as in case here. Your journey along this Glyndwr Ramblers Wayfaring Cenedl Glyndwr Trail concludes with you looking into the mountains that mark the northern boundaries of the land being grabbed for the Nant y Moch Windmill Plantation. The greatest threat to these mountains since the Flemish sought to attack Glyndwr in these our 'Sacred Hills' of Mynyddoedd Pumlumon which Embassy Glyndwr is campaigning against via it's Tarian Glyndwr blog, in this connection also see Brwydrau Glyndwr blog:

So ready? lets wayfare with Glyndwr Ramblers first if this is to be a week long venture into 'Wilderness Wales' than a place needs to be found for a 'Camp Glyndwr' or other places to stay. There is marked on the map a caravan site near Mynachdy, more so closer to and under Coed Behan and Coed Rhiwgam but I can find no further details on the web of this site? I suggest Pobl Glyndwr start to search out such themselves also other possible close by accomodation in this locality and over toward Talbontdrain or back as far as Forge and Machynlleth if needs be? Of course noting that one need not become involved for the whole week as it is being more organised not as a national event but more a venture in which individuals, groups or families may participate in as and when it please them to take their Baner Glyndwr into our 'Sacred Hills'. Note that the Glyndwr Trail comes directly into this area between Tyddyn y Plas and Talbotdrain.

Have a good time and then cross back over Bont Glyndwr and return home glad you went on this great Glyndwr Venture in June 2012 and why not make it an annual event? Before post comes to an end take a look at the below for a possible Bwlch Hyddgen or Moel Hyddgen Glyndwr Challenge 2012 and annually there after?
Bwlch Hyddgen or Moel Hyddgen Glyndwr Challenge 2012
Bothmountains are close or within the Northern Boundaries of the Nant y Moch Windmill Plantation land grab area. So who amongst you will take Baneri Glyndwr to the tops of these Mountains as a protest against this Windmilling desecration of our 'Sacred Hills', anyone up for it? Maybe, a number of Anti - Windmill Groups throughout Wales could challenge each other in a friendly competition, could also be a way by which each group could get sponsors to make it a fund raising events to fund their local campaigning. This too could be an annual event starting off from area of a 'Camp Glyndwr' close to Bont Glyndwr or close by? I shall look into this and even think of an award for winners, really we need an organising committee with Pobl Glyndwr who have been involved in this sort of activity. Anyone out there who could help, even if it's just with further ideas or advice in this connection
