Mynydd y Gwair (and Mynydd y Betws more to the left, just see slopes of).
Above photo taken from about Sardis on back road between Pontardulais and Ammanford, note Afon Llwchwr in foreground. The 'expelled' Welsh of 1282 push this enforced 'Frontier' way back up the mountain to the foot of Penlle'r Gaer, then destroy this castle and so liberate 'Stryveland'. This near enough complete history is in I'r Gad, see below:

11 Jan 2012 – PENLLE'R CASTELL AND GWYR GOGLEDD: THE FIGHT FOR A MOUNTAIN ' STRYVELAND' MYNYDD Y BETWS 1252 - 1334 THE ....jpg)
Essential Key Events of a Three Day Programme, I have suggested that participating Groups may organise associated events whilst others could organise any number of 'Fringe Activities', political and cultural. Why not lessons on creating allotments and how to build a Ty Unnos?
Other events could mean the 'Soap Box Nation' at the Viewing station prior to the Afternoon Rally at the Mynydd y Betws 'trig'. As well as evening political meetings and entertainments, be great if the whole was also seen as a 'Gwerin Owain' Mountain 'Free Festival'. Plus events and activities for children as perhaps a puppet show to make space for it to also be a summer time family affair, all being very much devoted to a celebration of our native history and culture. All you got to do is use some imagination, enterprise and effort and this could just be, not quite a 'Welsh Woodstock' but certainly as much a 'Cultural Celebration' as a political protest. It as the potential to be an annual three day festival if wished and lets keep as much as possible 'Free', that of course would require a lot of voluntary conviction and commitment to make it work, not impossible - JUST DO IT!
To add to the colour and make it all spectacular, we need first of to make protest impact we need plenty of banners and flags as well placards and posters for the rally and march on the Windmill Plantation fence (See Photos at end) also at the 'Betws Barricade'.
Patriots bring all your Banners and flags, what ever they represent and what ever they may have been associated with in the past as Rali Cilmeri or Merthyr 1831 Commemoration and of course such that represents your organisation or Society.
Such I suggest are given prominance on the 9th June as associated with the main event that day, thus note I further suggest that you could prior to the Rally place your banners and flags along either side of Y Wuan as a kind of exhibition display.
Quite permissible then, if you wish set out to discuss with the patriotic public what your group is about and seek members. Fine by me, at given time you will of course take such with you to the Rally and on the march upon the Windmill Plantation Fences. Also later at the 'Betws Barricade'.

Whilst, I suggest for the Sunday event at Penlle'r Gaer:
We restrict Banners and flags to those of an Heraldic nature as depicted below to represent the native Royal Houses of Cymru/Wales and thus native Gwledydd.

The Celtic Cross Flag below (made with use of Spray Can to give that rugged look) Is, I suggest becomes the Symbol of the Easter Walk over Mynydd y Betws Campaign, checking if public rights of way as Trails and footpaths have been fenced of or not? The idea being that if you come accross any archaeological remains you take photos of such with this flag. So we can build up a good picture of where the remains are and set up a photographic exhibition of such at the viewing station over the weekend of the 8 - 10 'Occupation of the Mountain.

Sure it's taking shape but as it does it requires much more organisation and certainly so in the month before and on the ground over the three days with stewards being needed to ensure all runs smoothly. To this end. I have made appeal for a Coordinating/Liaison/Organisating Committee to be set up, this I feel should be the responsibility of 'Gwladgarol Eginiog' for a number of reasons, not least because Betws historically was in that Talaith area and because it was their present day County of Sir Gar which betrayed Betws Mountain into the clutches of the Robber Barons. If Western Patriots fail to get off the fence and walk up to this patriotic duty and responsibility, then the matter will have to be discussed at the proposed Cardiff 'Beltain Bash' protest of 2nd May 2012.

The West of which Mynydd y Betws historically associated, not least regards Hanes 1136 but also because it was the Princes, Lords and Chiefs of Dehaubarth which often came to the aid of medieval Gwyr and 'Stryveland' during the first struggle of 1282 - 1334. I also remind that it was in the west that the People of the Pitchfork arose at Cwmwd Caeo with the cry of 'Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd' in attempt to reclaim their common lands and yet today in it has been Carmarthen County Council that used English Enclosure Act to seize Common Land for the Renewables Robber Barons to build their Windmill Plantation upon. Traitors! I wonder if Plaid Cymru Councillors voted for this Tan 8 Turbine Terrorism, I wonder?
