Welsh Mythology That Appears To Be Based In History Forgot
#Mythology #HIstory #Wales #Welsh #CambrianChronicles #MedievalHistory
Huh. It was very nearly always sunny in Ffylladdellffia.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor, writer and creator McElhenney started learning Welsh after buying Wrexham AFC with Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds [I actually know his Welsh teacher, who lived in Prague until last year]. But the language was spoken in his hometown on-and-off for four centuries, after two waves of immigration helped shape the state of Pennsylvania.
William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, converted to Quakerism at a young age and was a strong advocate of religious freedom and democratic values. "The king granted him a massive tract of land in North America to settle a debt with the Penn family. Believe it or not, Penn's first idea for a name for this land was 'New Wales', but King Charles II overruled him and the name Pennsylvania or 'Penn's Woods' was chosen to honour Penn's father, whom the king owed a debt to."
The Welsh Quakers believed an agreement was reached to create a "Welsh Tract" on 40,000 acres (160sq km), where the language of government, law, business and daily life would be Welsh. But Mr Duffy said this failed to happen, adding: "The Welsh came to know Penn as 'Diwyneb', or 'Faceless' for reneging on their agreement."
Population density of European countries with at least 5 million population, 2023.
As you can see from this data, the UK is the third most population dense country of all countries in the European continent region with at least 5 million population.
There is no necessity or justification for mass migration into the United Kingdom. The UK is a relatively small island nation & space is at a premium.

Home secretary also suggests clampdown on pro-Arab chants in letter that will concern free speech advocates
Waving a Palestinian #flag or singing a chant advocating freedom for Arabs in the region may be a criminal offence, Suella Braverman has told senior police officers.
In a letter to chief constables in #England and #Wales, the home secretary urged them to clamp down on any attempts to use flags, songs or swastikas to harass or intimidate members of the Jewish community.
Her words, which follow deadly attacks by #Hamas on Israelis and a #military response, will deeply concern #freedom of speech advocates and members of the #Muslim community.
In the letter, #Braverman said police should not restrict themselves to potential offences related to the promotion of Hamas, a proscribed organisation.

THE WELSH ARE FURIOUS AT THE NEW 20 MPH LAW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0X8lmfAc38
We want the Welsh Government to rescind and remove the disastrous 20mph law
The new 20mph law is coming into force on the 17th September and it will mark the end of having socialism in power in #Wales.
Welsh Government claim to have supporting evidence stating that reducing to 20mph EVERWHERE saves lives! Yet we get flyers merely claiming that it will, and opinions from doctors that see RTCs coming into A&E. This is NOT evidence. The only true evidence is from Belfast and it states it makes NO DIFFERENCE to RTCs!

#Trends between total crime rate per 100,000 of population in 287 localities in #England and #Wales and percentage of locality population that is not '#White #British' in those 287 localities, 2023.
This is an #analysis of official #UK #government #ONS #data that shows quite clearly that as the #percentage of population that is not 'White British' goes down, so does the total rate of #crime per 100k of #population.
In other words, as the percentage of 'non-White-British' within the population of a locality goes up, the total crime rate per 100k of population also goes up.

The benefits of soodling along the coast of Wales
https://newsfromwales.co.uk/mens-mental-health-group-reaps-benefits-of-walking-the-wales-coast-path-with-77-recommending-a-walk-on-the-path-to-boost-mental-health-and-wellbeing/
#soodling #mentalhealth #walking #Wales
The second full day of our visit to #BannauBrycheiniog was devoted to visiting #PenYFan, the tallest #peak in south #Wales. This was a very nice #walk of 15 km with some steep ascents and descents but no climbing.
Starting from the car park, a path started to climb gently upwards. You can see Pen Y Fan on the horizon near the centre of the image.
As we approached the #mountain, we could make out a #path up towards the summit.
The path passes a small #reservoir and the #dam has an interesting castellated feature on it.
Along the way there are several valleys leading to #farm #fields.
As the path turns, you can see where you've just come from.
The land around the mountains are used for grazing #sheep. Here are two who have been shorn of their winter #fleeces.
On the final steeper ascent up Pen Y Fan you can here see the craggy north side of the neighbouring mountain, #Cribyn.
Looking back south, you can make out the edge of the reservoir we passed.
The path gets steadily steeper and is partially paved to provide durability and grip. The view keeps getting better.
Arriving at the summit with some effort, you are rewarded with an all-round view. We were very lucky as I was told by someone that the day before, the peak had been shrouded in cloud. Dozens of other people were also enjoying the spectacle.
Here I am at the summit at an elevation of 886 m. From the start point, that's a climb of about 650 m.
The path back to the start is along a #ridge affording views of the valleys either side.
The path on the ridge is not dangerous unless you get carelessly close to the edge but it is uneven and has large stones in places whereas in others, it is covered in black #peat.
Looking back towards Pen Y Fan, you can just make out the figures of people waling on the horizon.
The valley edge looks precarious but in summer, I don't think it is a great danger.
In the south western horizon are a group of #WindTurbines. I am sure wind will be an important energy resource for #Wales in the coming decades.
The return to the car park as along this path down across the valley.
To get to it, required us to descend some steep roughly buiilt stone stairs. For me this was the most hazardous part of the walk as I was tired by now and my knees were getting very sore. It was a relief to get back to the car.
In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.
Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.
Looking south from the summit, Crickhowell can be seen in the valley below.
On the descent, this is the profile of the western side of the mountain.
Also on the way down, here is a view looking west once more with the valley in the mid ground and hills in the background. Natural haze makes the distant mountains seem to fade away.
Here's a moment where the #Sun is shining through clouds giving an eerie effect in the fading light on a hill, while the foreground is silhouetted.
Finally for #Pontneddferchan and apropos nothing in particular, this fallen #tree #trunk across the #footpath just seemed interesting to look at with its jagged surface, fibrous structure and colour contrasting with verdant surroundings.

The ##erosion of #rocks around #Pontneddfechan shows #sedimentary #layers as well as fracturing by hydraulic action.
Here, for example, is an exposed cliff with jagged, cuboid forms left my the erosion process. It reminds me of the #VideoGame #Qbert.
Here you can see that the layers of rock are slanted by #GeologicalForces.

Finally on the theme of #flow, I photographed the #waterfall #SgwdGwladus from the other bank and was able to get much closer to it and so I used the same method to give different impressions of gushing or a freeze frame.
Shutter speed: 1/80 s
Shutter speed 1/15 s
Incidentally, if you're wondering if there's anything special about 1/15 s, well it's the longest exposure I could get with the juddering of my hand held camera became too noticeable..
