A sneaky peak: Wales gains a mountain because of quarrying

Surveyor Myrddyn Phillips believes status of high ground near Blaenau Ffestiniog should be upgraded

A hillwalker, surveyor and map-maker has pinpointed what he believes is a new mountain in north Wales that has been created by quarrying.

Myrddyn Phillips, who has spent the last two decades sizing up obscure peaks to judge if they qualify for mountain status, has concluded a piece of high ground at a quarry near Blaenau Ffestiniog passes the test.
