Misspelt, huh? I don't know how David spelt it, but actually, it's spelt Llanybydder - the 'th' version is an archaic Anglicisation that nobody really uses.
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites/llanybydder/pages/tour.shtml for a photo of the town name as evidence. This shows a problem with using NPE maps as a source - they're not really authoritative with regard to names, particularly outside England. (Though I can't speak for Scotland or Ireland) 'dd' in Welsh is pronounced like 'th' in 'their' in English - that's quite a common transliteration in Anglocentric maps of the 1950's. This isn't confined to NPE maps - I emailed some nice chappie in the US military a while back to correct some of the worst examples in Geonames - he was very cooperative and changed them for me :-) There are other common errors I've seen from the brief look I've had - hyphenations that shouldn't be, and odd transliterations of letter combinations - of au etc. Dollgelley for Dolgellau, Brynkir for Bryncir etc etc Proceed with caution...

But I do get, in the same area: * Banc Melyn (peak) * Mynydd Llnaybyther (peak) * Llanybyther (village) - btw you misspelled it, so I corrected it :-) I really can't see why it shouldn't like that particular place. Do you want to send me a full list of probkem nodes soI can see if there's any common features?
