I SHOULD HAVE POSTED THIS EARLIER AND ENCOURAGED PATRIOTS PARTICIPATING TO TAKE ALONG SUITABLE LAND & LIBERTY PROTEST BANERS AND PLACARDS RELATED TO THE PRESENT 'STOP THE VYRNWY LAND GRAB CAMPAIGN', but I was otherwise engaged never mind, anyone getting to read this earlier enough may be able to knock out such quick enough to take later today. Enjoy the walk, remember it looks to be a Wet! Wet! experience so as noted in adverts for this event, dress appropriatly. Don't forget the wellies and umbrella. Looks to be a good day out, wish I could have gone, even attended the hymn singing despite my reservations of this answer to what might be percieved as a 'Cymric Celebration'as typical Rural Welsh Cultural 'Nationalist' response to adversity?
.
Might not a Patriotic 'Defend Our Country' Rally have been more appropriate? we really must give up on trying to sing the Colonial land grabbing occupiers away, it does'nt work. Far too often when we look at the history of Colonial Land Grabbing in Wales from Vyrnwy to Elan, Tryweryn and Clywedog the local communities at end of the day walked away and did not attempt to make any last stand. Welsh Resistence in contemporary times was on the whole taken to the wire and crossed the line by the likes of the Nationalist 'Penyberth Three' and later by Militant Patriots with acts of sabotage using explosives that launched a major Welsh Military Struggle led by Owen Williams and John Jenkins of Mudiad Amdiffyn Cymru also in a minor way backed up by the FWA and their leaders Cayo Evans and Denis Coslett.
.
Historically the rural Welsh in the past have stood their ground, for instance done during 18th century enclosure disturbences, most notably in 1826 during the 'War of the Little Englishmam' on Mynydd Bach, Ceredigion. The rural Welsh also stood their ground during the Tithe Wars of the 1880's, such latter 19th century resistence usually focused on the problems of farming communities but it is worth while remembering the 'Rural Revolt' of the labouring classes:

Whatever, If you cannot make Epynt, there are plenty of walks around Llyn Efrnwy, take a ABH break this coming weekend passivelly if you want to check out, if it's worth buying a bit as per Helen Hardy's 'SAISGELD PROMOTION'. Alternativelly, have a 'Walk About' Protest with Banners and Placards. If you cannot get up to Vyrnwy, have a day or two out visting the Elan Valley and Clywedog Reserviors. This ABH Weekend 'Walk Back Into Your Past' and if you cannot make Vyrnwy this weekend the deadline for any 'mass mobalised' Patriotic Action will be on and around 27 September in association with a local Community Council meeting on the issue.
.
Keep in mind the Bidding for Vyrnwy Land Sell off is to take place in the Autumn and up to now Patriotic Pacivity if not the usual Cultural Nationalist Pacifism to date has not been simply muted but pathetically silent. Really by now Patriots (Not the David Hayes/Cymru 1400 & Adam Phillips/BC Usual Opportunism to self advance their infantile imature Adventurism), should have established a NATIONAL VYRNWY DEFENCE CAMPAIGN and, no and I am not doing so, by end of this month I will have stopped my Vyrnwy Campaign promotion work. however, I shall be carrying out my Vyrnwy Protest Action about mid Mis Medi and that will be that, as far as I and the Vyrnwy Issue is concerned, others can worry about what to about 27 September and thereafter.
.
However, my Land & Liberty work shall continue but focus on other directions of which I will keep you informed via blogs. The Mynydd y Gwair issue will be of coming importance as decisions are to be taken soon as to allow Windmills or not, see link below of a previous protest walk, might inspire you as to what may be done at Vyrnwy this weekend and thus what will be achieved at least in publicity terms, see below link:
