Morning sweet ones 💕

I'm still working out (inventing) a point to having three Mastodon accounts. Trans joy for transfem.social is easy. But beige.party (not a cult)? I think, with a 11001 character limit, that'll be for long-winded weirdness. But toot.wales will always remain my everyday. For local, community, walks, nature, cameraderie and cats

Love you all dearly. Here is a stonechat that was chirping prettily to me, as I ambled home yesterday evening 💕😘🥰 #birdsofmastodon #Cymru

Our Lady, Star of the Sea & St. Winifride (RC) church, Amlwch, Anglesey. The only other example I've seen is in Lima, Peru.

It is mostly concrete, including the ribs, which have design and material flaws, long leading to a leaking roof, though restored and reopened in 2011. In 2021, it was closed again due to continued structural problems.

Low drone view of the church. The form is often said, even in official circles, to be an 'upturned boat', but this is questionable, as the style is seen elsewhere, though rarely.
Vertical drone view of the concrete ribbed roof. The ribs were too thin at their apexes and roof leaks have plagued the church since the beginning. The structure continued to deteriorate, even after a 2011 restoration and is currently closed.
Level drone view of the star window above the entrance. Glass fragments from blue bottles were set in mortar, many having since fallen away.
Interior view from near the entrance towards the altar. The arched glass windows overhead are a striking feature of this church.

"To every LGBT+ comrade, know you are not alone. The revolution will be built by all of us, or it will serve none of us. This is not the time for quiet outrage or legal appeals. This is the time for mass mobilisation, for direct action, for solidarity that does not waver. The British state has made their position clear. Now we must make ours."

North Wales is a dystopian tourist hell today.

All very sad: everybody causing traffic chaos, parking nightmares, just to take an 'Insta' shot and then leave, often dumping their rubbish on the ground behind them.

Three more years, and I'm out of here. It's become a very, very sick joke.

Up & at 'em today, Roath Market's lure trounced the gloomy weather.

First stop, Lahmacun for a flavour-filled wild garlic flatbread with date & olive paste which we ate greedily on-site. Walked home with a haul of Pasta a Casa's Sicilian arancini & panella, a family-style West African meal from Mami Maggie's Recipes & Lahmacun's upside-down blood orange cake & rhubarb & rose Bakewell tart.

Three of Roath Market's stalls set up in a row under blue and green awnings. The Mackintosh Sports Club's cream rendered wall is in the background. Traders from the left: Stronghold Coffee, Mami Maggie's Recipes & Pasta a Casa. It's raining.
A round wood-fired flatbread from Lahmacun sits on a compostable plate. On the flatbread's surface: green wild garlic, red pickled onions, white wild garlic flowers and, in the middle, a rocher of date & walnut paste. To the right, a lemon wedge. To the bottom right, red chipotle sauce and white garlic sauce. The plate has been put on one of the market's tables in readiness for us to sit and eat.

That's a wrap on a busy training week in Eryri. One (1) day of good weather and 5 of wind and rain. I trained 4 days out of 6, with 2 rest days (enforced by the weather, but probably a good idea.)

I seconded some grade 2 and 3 scrambles in the Glyderau as part of a course. It was my first time at this grade and made trickier due to weather conditions and greasy rock. (Routes completed: Idwal Buttress on Glyder Fawr, Chimney Crack on Tryfan Bach, Bastow Buttress Variant and North Tower on Tryfan, plus some grade 1 gullies in descent).

Challenging but highly enjoyable. I also solo ran/hiked/scrambled the Snowdon Horseshoe route, my first time up Crib Goch.

I'd wanted to do two more classic horseshoes (Cwm Bochlywd, Carneddau Southern Ridges), but strong winds and heavy rain looked like too much risk. So I swapped in a low level run around the Ogwen Valley to get some elevation in on rough mountain terrain, with a bit of grade 1 scrambling up False Gribin too.

Advanced Scrambling course day 1 of 2. Two scramblers, wearing orange and end-roped together negotiate a steep, wet, rocky gully. They are belayed by an unseen lead. In the background through drinking rain is Llyn Idwal and the lower slopes of Pen Yr Ole Wen. Stats show 5.1km distance, 440m elevation gain, and 1 hour 48 minutes moving time.
Advanced Scrambling day 2 of 2. A scrambler wearing a white helmet and orange jacket kneels on a ledge overlooking a deep mountain ravine. On closer inspection, they are safely on belay, so the position is not as precarious as it looks. Stats show 5.7km distance travelled, 633 metres elevation gain, and 2 hours 25 minutes moving time (the day was in fact approx 8 hours, but in the steepest climbs it often didn't detect movement).
Snowdon Horseshoe (+Pyg detour). Yr Wyddfa summit rises above the rugged knife-edge Arete of Crib Goch. Stats show 16 km distance, 1,245 metres elevation gain, and 3 hours 23 moving time (elapsed time was nearer 5 hours, the steepest climb up Crib Goch east ridge didn't register as movement as the gradient was up to 50% and progress slow).
The distinctive, reptilian contour of Tryfan (amountain) in the background, rising above a loose rocky ridgeline in the foreground. Llyn Bochlywd (a lake) is visible in the middle ground. Stats show 10.4 km distance, 814 metres elevation gain, and 2 hours 10 moving time (elapsed time was closer to 3 hours).

Happy Easter! This year, if you're taking a break in Eryri, don't be one of the very many idiots who throws their picnic waste on the ground in the expectation it will miraculously vanish of its own accord.

Respect the environment. Respect Wales.

I hope you enjoy this wash fold I captured today, because it was the hardest walk through the most awful terrain I've ever undertaken!

Some past, not very good studies have suggested round forms indicate building over prehistoric structures, but this is invariably not the case.

Rounder enclosures instead just cause less panic in sheep and are often easier to build when the stone supply is limited.

348m amsl in the Denbigh Moors.

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?

justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sa

Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)

Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.

Lovely queers in a sunny garden with a rainbow-coloured big top circus tent in the background.
