POST SCRIPT.
UNFORTUNATLY, MY DAYS OF 'ACTIVISM' ARE COMING TO AN END AS EXCELERATING IPF MAKES ME EXTREMLY BREATHLESS AND NOT CAPABLE OF OVERT ACTION. PLUS LAST WEEK SIAN FELL AND BROKE TWO BONES IN HER WRIST/ARM YET TO BE RESET AND PUT IN PLASTER. SO SIAN TOO IS OUT OF ACTION AND HER CAR ASIDE! THUS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS - 'ADFYWIADWYR' TO LEAD THE STRUGGLE ON MYNYDD Y GWAIR DURING THE SUMMER AND BEYOND AND NOT LEAST HELP ORGANISE EVENTS OF JULY 9 AND SEPTEMBER 16 2017 - ANY HEROES AND HEROINES OUT THERE WILLING AND ABLE TO TAKE UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF? hOPEFULLY WE WILL BE FIT ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MASS TRESSPASS OF THE WINDFARM SITE AND OCCUPATION OF 'SOMERSET FIELD' IN SEPTEMBER.
The concept of this Antur Hanes Glyndwr - POBL GLYNDWR RAMBLERS PATHFINDER TRAILS is to present for Pobl Glyndwr what may be described as an opportunity to walk back into history by means of Patriotic Ramblers Routes that will tell a story in our purpose the Story of Owain Glyndwr. Ahead of us via this blog or maybe in time a special purpose blog, we shall outline a trail that may be followed and such will be trails that tell a particular purpose in this case of our No 1 Trail Machynlleth to Vyrnwy will tell the story of the years 1400 - 1404 - which are the signifigant four years of the Glyndŵr story from Rebel to Owain IV Tywysog Cymru. Last but not least upon reaching Llanwddyn - Vyrnwy there would be an option to stay some extra days in the area to make possible outings to Mathrafel and Meifod - and even further afield, to the North, to take in Sycharth and to the South, to take in Welshpool.
These trails may be walked any time of the year and are not meant to be nationally organised events but such which Individuals, families, freinds or coummunity groups or Societies may organise themselves to participate in as and when they choose. This first Glyndwr's trail however we suggest is made some what of an 'Autonomous National' event, that implies no national organisation as such but as far as is possible Pobl Glyndwr go ahead and carry out a 'GLYNDŴR PATHFINDER WALK WEEKEND' to take place between 23 - 24 - 25 - 26 MIS MEDI This as all such intended 'Glyndŵr Ramblers' events could become an annually held and would follow paths associated with 'Hanes Glyndŵr' as this one between Machynlleth and Vyrnwy. if organised well along the entire route with social cultural events being organised at start in Machynlleth and Conclusion at Llanwydyn/Vyrnwy.

Last year we carried out a joint Tarian Glyndŵr and Brwydr Glyndŵr event to mark, both, the 'Land Grab' sale of the Vyrnwy Estate and to commemorate the Battle of Vyrnwy which took place on 24 Medi 1400. This years poroposed walk could also be taken advantage of thus for three Patriotic Campaigning reasons by Individual Campaigning groups to draw attention to the following:
1: Need for Battle of Vyrnwy Battle Site to be registered and an official Plaque put up and sculpture placed in the Sculpture park:
31 May 2011 ... BRWYDR BRYN GLASS/Battle of Bryn Glas 22 Mehefin 1... GLYNDWR BATTLEFIELDS TOURS AND ... THE BATTLE OF VYRNWY 24 MEDI 1400: 'TARIAN GLYNDWR.
2: The Vyrnwy Land Grab Issue raised afresh, to draw public attention to the delay in Knight Frank and Severn Trent announcing who won the bid in regards to the sale of the estate. For Latest News See blog link below:
22 Jul 2010 ... LAND & LIBERTY CAMPAIGN CYMRU2010: 'VYRNWY MAS O'R BYD' and 'YSBRYD TY UNNOS' For The COMMUNITY of the FREE CYMRY! ...
3: The latest battle being fought to defend Cenedl Glyndwr from both Industrialisation pof Rural Cymru with the 'Windmilling of Wales and along with it Desecration of our Heritage in the Landscape.Thus this year we are making it possible for this event to be such that it also publicises the awful plot to desecrate our Heritage in the landscape in Powys and also despoil what has often been called the 'Powys Paradise' with Windmill Turbine Plantation, National Grid Electricity Hubs and Pylons across our countryside all very much to the profit of England not local Welsh Communities. To this end, I will offer opportunity of this event to present Montgomery & Powys Protest Organisers to use in organising their own walk along the trail as a means of raising publicity and perhaps as a fund raiser, this I shall all leave to they to organise if they so wish.

NB:
Remember the above is not nationally organised you just go ahead and walk the above Pathfinder Trail as per suggestion above or as and when pleases you - Same regards future trails.
Embassy Glyndwr makes no apologies for taking a radical stance on the issue of the Windmilling of Wales and, we are quite content to support both local activist community groups as we have done. Now, we take a further step forward in this struggle by not only continuing to lead way in this struggle but now also commit ourselves to the militant patriotic struggle againist the Windmill Masters, the Renewables Robber Barons - 'New Conquistadores' and ally our Gwaith Glyndwr with they as it is clear to us that this struggle is a continuation of the struggle led by Owain Glyndwr which when all said and done was a War of National Liberation from centuries of Socio - Economic Colonialism. That Struggle must continue and Embassy Glyndwr via platform of Tarian Glyndwr will be to the fore in this fight for true not false Welsh Freedom and Independance.
THIS WAS HOW I SPENT PART OF MY 'DYDD DEWI 2017' AND DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT ALL THAT DIFFICULT TO FIND THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION SITE IN FACT IT WAS CLOSE TO THE WAY SIAN AND I HAD WALKED FROM PONTARDULAIS TO MYNYDD Y GWAIR IN 2015. SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD WISH TO RAMBLE WITH SOME POSITIVE PATRIOTIC ACTIVIST PURPOSE IN MIND HERE'S HOW FROM OUR LOWER BRYN BACH COMMON GATHERING SITE...
SIAN AT GATHERING SITE, HEOL Y BARNA STRAIGHT AHEAD....
BUT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TURNING TO THE RIGHT....
PROCEED DOWN THIS ROAD AS FAR AS THE FOOTPATH DIRECTION SIGNS THEN TURN LEFT ONTO THE PONTARDDULAIS FOOTPATH...
TURN TO LEFT NOT RIGHT INTO CWM DULAIS (following two photos) .....
HAVING TURNED LEFT CONTINUE ON WAY VIA GATE TO THE DAWNUS/RWE ROAD CONSTRUCTION SITE....
CONTINUE ALONG PATHWAY...
IGNORE THIS TURNING TO THE LEFT....
CONTINUE STRAIGHT AHEAD....
DAWNUS/RWE ROAD SURVAYORS MARKS WILL INDICATE YOUR HEADING IN RIGHT DIRECTION..
FINALLY YOU WILL SEE AHEAD A MOUND, LOOKS RATHER MAN MADE (view from satallite map) IS THIS PERHAPS AN ANCIENT GRAVE OF A CELTIC WARRIOR CHIEF?....
IF THIS IS A POSSIBILITY THEN IT NEEDS TO BE STUDIED FURTHER AS THE DAWNUS/RWE ROAD (see road way area fencing posts) IS HEADING IN DIRECTION OF BULLDOZING WAY THRU THE MOUND AND PERHAPS DESTROYING AN ANCIENT MONUMENT....
THIS MOUND WILL MAKE A GOOD EASTER SATURDAY GATHERING POINT FOR PATRIOTIC PROTEST AGAINST THE ROAD - BRING PLENTY OF FLAGS AND BANNERS. THIS EVENT WILL START AT GATHERING AREA AS SEEN IN PHOTOS ABOVE WHERE CARS CAN BE PARKED. THEN A PATRIOTS MARCH CAN BE MADE ALONG THE FOOTPATH DESCRIBED ABOVE. HOPEFULLY THS WILL BE A BETTER PATRIOTIC TURN OUT THAN FOR THE 'DYDD DEWI' PROTEST GATHERING, SOME WEEKS FOR PATRIOTS TO RECONSIDER THEIR APATHY IN OPPOSING THE 'BEAUFORT BUNCH' MAKING MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
ABOVE RALLY CAN BE CONTINUED WITH SOME DIRECT POSTER ACTION AS I CARRIED OUT ON 'DYDD DEWI 2017'...
PLENTY OF SITE POSTS TO STCK POSTERS ON ALL THE WAY TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE GATE ....
MAYBE REBECCA COULD TAKE CARE OF THIS GATE OVER EASTER?
COME UP FROM PONTARDDULAIS FOOTPATH ALSO CHECK OUT OTHER FOOTPATHS INCLUDING ONE FROM THE FOUNTAIN INN, THIS ONE SEEMS TO CONNECT WITH THE ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
VIEW FROM THE FOUNTAIN INN TOWARD BOLGOED REBECCA MEMORIAL AND 'THE ROAD' CONSTRUCTION SITE OFF A48.
