N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

apparently 'Castelli' (from Castell Dinas, the main location) = cuneifolia. I don't know how close Cefn Fedw is to Castell Dinas; having trouble locating it.

Yes, I have seen this site before and I can't definitely locate it in spite of asking the present and past VCR. There is a Cefn y Fedw at
OS Grid reference SJ246439

about 2km from Castell Dinas Bran but I am not convinced as it is not part of the main limestone cliffs. When I asked Tim Rich about Ley's site he though it probably included, but might be broader than Eglwyseg rocks.

[oldnick]

Interesting, and an area I don't know. Ley must have been quite a climber, I wonder if he went alone on his more hairy missions? I've also found a Ley label 'Eglwyseg. Cefn Fedw', so for the sake of getting a grid ref, I think I will re-edit my Cefn Fedws as Eglwysegs. I was interested to see you got a Bolton sheet (Stipa).

[mossysal]

Yes, I think that is a more logical site name.
BTW Tim Rich has also clambered all over those rocks! It is an area well worth a visit and Offas's dyke path provides a grand walk along them.
