The View From Foot of Penlle'r Gaer also 'Ffin Stryveland 1334 Frontier', look past the 'Three County Cross Roads' and passed the Pylon and you can see in foreground the 'Turbine Road' being cut into Mynydd y Betws, behind that is seen a TV Mast. To the left of this is the 'Trig' 1282 - 1334 Memorial (The Anti - Windmill Campaigners Rally will be held there at 2 - 3:00pm). There is a Barb Wire Fence on either side of the 'Turbine' Construction Road, later the Windmill Plantation Maintenance Road. Note, there are 'Red Gates' in the fences, either side to allow continued 'open access' to Heritage Ways, Foot Paths and Bridle Ways. The land in front has an hard peat base and is usually after rain very dry and walkable, including for older children. Noting that after the 'Betws Barricade' we Patriots and Partisans shall proceed along Southern Fence doing what we got to do regards Black Ribbons, Ivy and Posters being placed as part of the 'Struggle To Save Stryveland' campaign and in memory of 'Y Cymry' who fought and died in defence and for the Liberation of Mynydd y Betws ' 'STRYVELAND!' for over 50 years. Passing through the 'Red Gate' we shall proceed to the 'Trig' and then to the Viewing Station for hopefully some entertainment or if wished you may go for further 'Walkabouts'. Up to you the evenings will be light to late, and if good weather why not but take care, be prepared and do consult maps and obtain Trail Leaflets for Gower and St Illtud's way.

Like wise as from the 'Trig' others will march to and along the 'Northern Fences' and proceed via a 'Red Gate' to site of the aforementioned 'Ysbryd Cofiwn Remembrance Cross' to place tributes there as well. Then return to viewing station for 'Entertainment' and 'Walkabouts' as abobe.

Further, note at the Viewing Station there is some parking space also Picnic tables, so bring a picnics but also note near by Scotspine Pub, check out 'Opening Times' and availabilty of food throught the day and evening. We are serious about the three day 'Mountain Occupation' but consider camping out for one, two or three carefully and prepare well by further sussing out potential and needs and requirements as well as feasabilty for families.

As to your health and safty it's your responsibilty, so take care.
