    Did not have time to visit Rhyd Chwima, but taking much into consideration whilst Castell Dolforwyn makes good place to visit for small groups for Patriotic Picnics maybe. However, it is distance from Abermule and small parking space near to Castle makes a Patriotic Rally not such a good idea, though Rhyd Chwima area might. Well worth patriots looking into, especially Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd should prerhaps take lead here to forge link between Gwynedd and Powys. Should there not be a Cymdeithas Llywelyn III or Cymdeithas Tywysogion Gwynedd to take up such matters, why not?
