Talk:Gospel Pass

Height of Pass

The argument over the identity of the highest road pass in Wales is getting tiresome. I have enquired of the Ordnance Survey as to the relative merits of this pass, that at Pen Bwlch Llandrillo and that at Bwlch-y-groes. cheers Geopersona (talk) 13:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Local writer Reverend Francis Kilvert refers to Bwlch y Fingel as meaning a narrow notch between hills - see http://welshjournals.llgc.org.uk/browse/viewpage/llgc-id:1386666/llgc-id:1425626/llgc-id:1425701/getText Who knows? Geopersona (talk) 06:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Is the reference to 'Crusaders' meant to refer to Geraldus Cambrensis and Archbishop Baldwin of Canterbury, whose tour through Wales preaching the 3rd Crusade in 1188 is recorded in Gerald's Journey Through Wales ? In Chap 4 Gerald refers to the 'rugged pass' of Coed Grwyne, which they use as a route to Llanthony and Abergavenny. If Gerald and Baldwin are in fact the 'Crusaders' it would be good to say so explicitly. A reference would be useful in any case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.54.83 (talk) 08:00, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
