Yesterday, (Saturday 10th January) Mike Raine chair of the BMC cymru/wales group arranged a working group to do a spot of tidying at tremadog, working on some of the approach paths. The work that has been carried out here has very much been in collaboration with both the National Park and Countryside Council for Wales, a working relationship that has been going on for over two years now. The result of which has been a woodland management plan in conjunction with the BMC who are landowners at Bwlch Y Moch, which has resulted in a grant from the Better Woods for Wales to help fell the the invasive sycamore’s to promote the more native species.
Anyway the work day was very successful with 10 climbers attending and resulted in the improvement of the approach to Christmas Curry and Rio area’s of the crag. On hand was professional upland footpath builder, and local climber Mill’s, who helped show the amateurs how its done.
With any in the next few weeks a team of lumberjacks will be turning up to clear out selected trees, which will hopefully let more of the famous tremadog sunshine onto the crag, helping the crag dry even quick on the rare occasion that it rains there.
