As my blogging comrades will know, I have expressed my frustration -- several times -- on this blog about the snail-paced progress of the Rhosyfelin RIGS designation onto the assorted statutary documents. For example, this PCNPA list has not been updated since 2011:

However, things are moving at last, and the relevant NPA officer has kindly sent me the following links:

On the Welsh Government's "open data" map site called "Lle" (run by Natural Resources Wales) it should also be possible to inspect all of the RIGS locations in Wales. The site still uses a Beta version of the map, and is clearly still being built. No doubt there will soon be links to citations, so watch this space....

Sometimes, reaction to statements made about Rhosyfelin move at a velocity which is not so much snail - paced but positively geological.
However, this is like the old Aesop's Fable about the Tortoise and the Hare. I'm pleased the Tortoise has caught up with the Hare and am confident the Tortoise will be shown to have won when football's V.A.R. system is introduced.
Oh, and by the way, I am confident that, at some future date, glacial geomorphologists and geologists WILL be friends [compare the song in 'Oklahoma!' about the farmers and the cowmen]. Love Conquers All............eventually.
