Talk:Garnedd Ugain

OS mistake?
Removing the following:


 * The use of Garnedd is rumoured to be a mistake by the Ordnance Survey despite the possible soft mutation.

Soft mutation is by far the most natural explanation here - presumably because the name once had the definite article. Here are a whole load of other examples: Fan Brycheiniog, Fan Fawr, Foel Fenlli, Foel-fras, Foel Grach, Foel Gron, Foel Wen, Garnedd Uchaf, Garreg Lwyd, Waun Fach.

A mistake by the OS is a less natural explanation, which needs more substantiation than an unsourced rumor.

Hi, I'm inexperienced at editing here but found this website suggesting that Garnedd Ugain simply started as a nickname a couple of hundred years ago and is actually a derogatory name for the twin peak of Snowdon
