Post cyntaf Traditional Cache

First cache for me, so hope you like it.  A lovely walk, and parking is available at the coordinates below.  The path is well kept, and flat.  There are some "cycle barriers" on the path that may be a problem for wheelchair access. The cache has a basic Welsh theme and there is a "bathodyn Cymraeg" (Welsh badge) for the FTF.

Gwreiddiau yr Iaith /Welsh roots.

Cymraeg is the oldest language in Britain dating back approximately 4,000 years.  It evolved from a language called Indo-European, which developed into nine different language groups, one of which was Celtic. In turn, Celtic developed its own family of languages and was spoken all over Europe.

The closest relatives of Welsh are the other p-Celtic languages, of which the other modern representatives are Cornish and Breton.  Cumbrian (if it was a distinct language), and Gaulish, which is now extinct would also have been related to the p-Celtic languages.

The next nearest relatives are the q-Celtic languages, of which modern representatives are the Gaelic languages of Ireland, Isle of Man and Western and Highland Scotland.  

Gwers Cymraeg/Welsh lesson:

The following is a simple song/poem that I was taught as a "plentyn" (child), and is a good starter for those who wish to learn some Welsh (don’t ask me to sing it!)

Bore da is Good morning,

Nos da is good night,

Shwd i ti heddiw? How are you today? I hope you feel alright.

Pob lwc a hwyl fawr, best of luck and have fun,

Iechyd da i bob un, that's best of health to everyone!
