Potential Points of Resistance to RWE Turbine Highway Across the Seven Hills of Mawr by Gethin ap Gruffydd

 

 POTENTIAL PROTEST POINTS OF RESISTANCE TO RWE TURBINE HIGHWAY ACROSS THE SEVEN HILLS OF MAWR EN ROUTE TO CONSTRUCTION OF THE MYNYDD Y GWAIR WIND FARM.

 

Part One:

 

Mountain Road Felindre to Garnswllt, from Cattle Grid to Glan - yr -Dafon there may be need for a permanent protest blockade and occupation camp opposite Penlle'r Bebyll.

1:  At this point (Cattle Grid and Road to Felindre behind the foto below) , the RWE Road comes from the left across the Mountain from Bolgoed/Gopa Hill. Looking ahead is the Mountain Road to Garnswllt which RWE intends to seize as part of their construction Road, they will turn off at Blaen Nant Farm and traverse three more Mountains to get to the MyG Wind Farm site. Note along road to left is path to the Mynydd y Pysgodlyn Trig and just off the road and path is the Penlle'r Bebyll (Summit of Tents) much reduced archaeological site.

 

2: Cattle Grid (view towards Felindre). 
 

 

3: Penlle'r Bebyll. (not far from Road).

 

 

4: Mynydd Pysgodlyn Trig (toppled).

 

 

 

5:  Proceed along Mountain Road and note to the right, one can see the Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm, a little to right and in the foreground Mynydd Y Gwair can be seen.

 

 

6: Continue along Road and note the right turn off to Blaen Nant Ddu Farm, It's here that the RWE Construction Road will continue across three more hills to Mynydd y Gwair

 

 

 

7:  Little further on Glan - yr - Dafon. (Afon Dulais below, flows into Cwm Dulais and on to Pontardulais, you can look down into Cwm Dulais from the Mynydd Pysgodlyn area and it is here you will see Red Kites seeking out prey). Just maybe RWE traffic will come from this direction too.

 

8: The Radical Resistance Red Pitch Fork is raised once more, this time across the Seven Hills of Mawr in our Stop the RWE Road - Stop the Mynydd y Gwair Wind Farm Campaign.
