Originally posted on March 22, 2021. I am clearing out the old Penbryn Mynach Holiday Cottage google plus page. As with other google plus pages it disappears on April 2nd and content needs retaining by 31st March. Nearby beautiful village Llwyngwril, where we holidayed in 2014, used to have a website hosting a copy of the […]
Originally posted on February 19, 2021. It is with some sadness, on our part, that Iorwerth left for pastures new last Thursday. Now 87, Iorwerth left Barmouth for Ruthin to be nearer children and grandchildren. As next door neighbours for just over 7 years we have developed a friendship, enough for me to say “I […]
Originally posted on October 11, 2018. ViewRanger is a mapping app. Is it the mapping app that Google is to search? I will leave that for you to decide. It’s a good one, even at the basic account level which is free. In their own words: “ViewRanger is your digital guide to the outdoors with […]
The Barmouth Heritage Trail was launched in early 2014. The website contains a wealth of information and history about Barmouth, particularly the old town that predates the 1870s building of Penbryn Mynach (formerly Bryn Mynach).

Here is a picture of me at the conference talking with Rachel Tindall who provides very peaceful and high up in the hills accommodation near Aberystwyth called Tanyresgair. At the time […]
Google+ confuses me! However, I have just visited the dashboard and found the handy section of code to use for websites. So I thought I would trial it in this post before I tried it elsewhere. Fingers crossed, you should be able to hover over the follow button below and tick to add to your […]
I sat in a small queue yesterday at the temporary traffic lights, doing some consumer testing for the summer. There are about 200 yards of road to complete and I thought there would be a tiny chance that on Saturdays throughout the summer there would be no lights. But apparently not, the lights are scheduled […]

It’s all safe here but do follow the tips in the iplayer radio clip or the following older article written at the time of earlier incidences in 2009.

It was a long journey to Barmouth today. My fault. I decided to travel via a northern route to see the snow before it disappeared. I must have missed the first road ahead shut signs but having gone so far from Knockin on the B4396/B4391 aiming for Bala, I decided to ignore the road ahead […]
