Talk:Dyfryn Woods Crag

Am I correct in thinking the crag name should be Dyffryn with 2 F's?--Alan rosier (talk) 10:14, 17 July 2013 (BST)

I'm not sure you are correct,that's the welshy way you'd expect it to be spelled but the heritage trust notice board on site spells it that way so that's what I changed it to,so a single F it is.The woody truss info board designer is probably an English man(sorry -person )though--Roy thomas (talk) 10:35, 17 July 2013 (BST)

I think you are right, its the anglicised version of the name, shoddy too. Duffrin would be more appropriate. otherwise its a hash of both welsh and english pronounciation. Now it just looks like its pronounced Duvrin. And no I'm not an anti-english type, the missus is from Taunton.--Alan rosier (talk) 11:09, 17 July 2013 (BST)

And I'm from Essex (in case you couldn't tell)... altho' I realise you don't the hold the same affection for me as you do Mrs Rosier !  ;-) --Tim Hoddy (talk) 12:10, 17 July 2013 (BST)

Next time you go get some pre noon sun on crag topo shots and follow/avoid sun as it moves down the crag.Take a strimmer or whacker to clear the nettles and do the routes right of Baggle Brook Affair there's more shade in the morning.--Roy thomas (talk) 10:35, 17 July 2013 (BST)

No idea. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 10:28, 17 July 2013 (BST)

A great little shady summer crag. The page is awful though. Can we improve on it?--Alan rosier (talk) 23:18, 15 July 2013 (BST)

Photos

Here's some pics as discussed. Who is doing the topos?--Chris Wyatt 21:00, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mate, looks better than I imagined. I've cobbled some piccies together using free version of autostitch. Topo, hmmm, maybe I had best to link it to Gary G's site for the mo, I have no info at all on this crag.--Alan rosier 10:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I've got Roy's Topo - but really we should discuss it with him--Chris Wyatt 20:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll send him an e-mail to ask if it's ok.--Alan rosier 07:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Roy's ok with that, go ahead.--Alan rosier 16:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Get on with it. If stuff i've sent you is lost let me know so I can send more. -Roy Thomas

Hey Alan and Del... This page is looking really good. Well done!! --Tim Hoddy 15:43, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Cheers, getting there with Roy's help.--Alan rosier 18:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Access

Miles just informed me that the landowner - the Woodland Trust has sent a very irate letter regarding this crag. Suggest we hold off climbing there until the matter is resolved. The BMC have been informed.--Chris Wyatt 12:13, 12 October 2010 (BST)

The reasons were not specifically clear but between the lines it appears their beef is...

1) People were driving up the private road to the crag.

2) Paying groups were using the cliff.

3) They wish to store logs in this area.

All quite reasonable. --Alan rosier 15:09, 12 October 2010 (BST)

Just an official update on the access situation from the BMC --Del 23:13, 22 January 2011 (GMT)

Baggle Brook belay sorted over a year ago so comment not needed. Woodland trust placated but adventure centre and camarthen college need to stop driving up there as they wind up the problem again.

OK Roy.--Alan rosier 22:21, 8 June 2011 (BST) BTW You signature and timestamp comments by pressing the penultimate grey icon button (looks like a bit of squiggly signature)at the top of the dialogue input box(?) before you save page.

Dyfryn posher topos and first ascents list

Hey Tim can't remember if I used my pics or Delaneys but wan't me to hunt out blanks or maybe you have some.Does it have to be the exact pic that you have the old wikki topos drawn on?It's hard to get lost following consecutive line of bolts.Did Al take some happy climbing snaps.By the way it's in the sun a.m shade pm.

Started to rewrite first ascents list but thought "hang on I've already done this". We deleted it when the Woody Truss boys kicked off,if it's lurking in some magic somewhere wave your wand and re-instate it failing that I'll rewrite tit--Roy thomas (talk) 10:37, 16 July 2013 (BST)

I didn't take pics. Forgot the camera - DOH!--Alan rosier (talk) 13:29, 16 July 2013 (BST)

Yes happy to do some topos... but please only if you have the same picure for the blank and proto-topo. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 15:21, 16 July 2013 (BST)

Hunting for the originals but not much success,may have to get some more,can't remember who did those topos(think some pics are mine some Del boys) but I sent them the proto scrawls.Can u do some searchy magic to see who it was and maybe they have lingering images.--Roy thomas (talk) 10:35, 17 July 2013 (BST)

Your welcome to use mine. Same goes for all I put on here. --Del (talk) 20:30, 23 July 2013 (BST)

Send them on over I'll Knock up some more proto topos for the maestro Tim.Thanks Del--Roy thomas (talk) 08:43, 24 July 2013 (BST)

Old Photos

Hi Tim have you got any of Del's old pics of Dyfryn archived so I can topo-ise--Roy thomas (talk) 13:46, 25 July 2013 (BST)

I don't think so. If Del uploaded them to the wiki at any time they can probably be found. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 14:20, 25 July 2013 (BST)

Have you seen this page Roy ? You can see further pages by clicking on the 'forward' graphic at the bottom. --Tim Hoddy (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2013 (BST)

A load of unused graphics on this page... including some blank (but very small) Dyfryn ones. http://www.southwalesmountaineering.org.uk/g_book/index.php?title=Special:UnusedFiles&limit=500&offset=0 --Tim Hoddy (talk) 18:37, 28 July 2013 (BST)

Found those Dyfryn pics but they are small.Are they good enough to use for new style topos or shall I wait for bigger new ones to be taken.Advice Tim??--Roy thomas (talk) 14:02, 29 July 2013 (BST)

I think they are too small. We'd only have to do them again. Perhaps we could ask you-know-who to take the photos and mark the lines!  ;-) --Tim Hoddy (talk) 14:07, 29 July 2013 (BST)
