Seasonal migration. Anyone know of any gritstone crags that migrate North?

Maybe because the Great Orme is Craig y Gogarth in Welsh?

Now there's something I didn't know, cheers.

Am at home now and have an old map of North Wales (Bartholomew's Revised "Half Inch" Contured Map, No 27 Price 7/6 Net) and it is indeed marked as Gogarth on there.  The Gogarth on Angelsey is marked named Gigorth Bay.

According to Iwan Arfon Jones (who did the translation work on the North Wales Bouldering guide) the literal translation of Little Orme is Cyngreadur Bach, it might seem logical that Great Orme would be Cyngreadur Fawr, but I've never seen this used. Instead you tend to see Pen y Gogarth or Y Gogarth ('Pen' being the 'head' of something).
