24ain Gystadleuaeth Codi Waliau Cerrig Cymdeithas Eryri	Snowdonia Society launches 24th Dry Stone Walling Competition
Cynhelir 24ain Gystadleuaeth Codi Waliau Cerrig Cymdeithas Eryri ddydd Sadwrn, 7 o Orffenaf ym Nyffryn Mymbyr, Capel Curig, unwaith eto dan nawdd RWEnpower. Mae'r gystadleuaeth boblogaidd yma wedi bod ymlaen ers 24 mlynedd, yn denu codwyr waliau o ar draws gogledd Cymru a thu hwnt, sy'n ymryson i gael un o'r tlysau a'r gwobrau ariannol. "Mae hon yn un o'r cystadleuaethau mwyaf yn yr ardal." meddai Dan James, Cyfarwyddwr Gweithrediad y Gymdeithas Eryri"Mae 'na gryn dipyn o ddiddordeb mewn cystadleuaeth eleni wedi bod yn barod, gobeithio felly y bydd hi'n fwy ac yn well nag erioed!." Caiff pob cystadleuydd sy'n cwblhau ei fesur o wal yn foddhaol ychydig o dâl ac mae yna wobrau ariannol a tlysau yn y tri chategori: Proffesiynol, Lled-Broffesiynol ac Amaturiaid. Mae hefyd groeso i wylwyr ddod a gweld y grefft anhygoel yma ar waith. Yn amlwg mae waliau cerrig yn atal defaid a gwartheg rhag crwydro, ac ar hynny maen nhw'n gynefin i gennau a mamaliaid bychan, yn gysgod i anifeiliaid fferm, ac i'r sawl sy'n mwynhau harddwch y tirlun, yn arwedd nodweddiadol gwych o dirwedd Eryri. Fedr ffens, sy'n para rhyw 25 mlynedd, ddim cystadlu â hynny, â wal gerrig yn goroesi 150 o flynyddoedd yn hawdd.

The Snowdonia Society's 24th Dry Stone Walling Competition will be held on Saturday 7th July at Dyffryn Mymbyr in Capel Curig, supported by long term sponsor RWEnpower. This popular competition has been running for 22 years, attracting wallers from all over North Wales and beyond, who battle it out, in pursuit of one of the trophies and cash prizes. "This is one of the biggest competitions in the area." Said Dan James, the Snowdonia Society's Operations Director "There has already been a lot of interest in this year's competition, so we are hoping that it will be bigger and better than ever before!”  All competitors who successfully complete their stint will receive a small payment and there are cash and trophy prizes for the three categories: Professional, Semi- Professional and Amateur. Spectators are also welcome to come and see this incredible skill put into practice first hand. Dry stone walls don't just provide a stock proof barrier for the farmer, but also a habitat for lichen and small mammals, shelter for farm animals, and, for those who enjoy the beauty of the landscape, a superb characteristic feature of the Snowdonia landscape. A fence may not have the appeal of a dry stone wall, lasting only 25 years, whereas the life of a wall may exceed 150 years. Dyffryn Mymbyr is a National Trust owned farm within the National Park. Dyffryn Mymbyr was the first home of the Snowdonia Society. On the founders death it was bequeathed to the National Trust. It is located on the A4086 between Capel Curig and Pen y Gwryd GR695572. For entry forms and further information please contact the Snowdonia Society, tel. 01690- 720 287.
