Don’t you think it’s time to stop putting Snowdonia in brackets every time you mention Eryri (Scrambling, walking and swimming in splendid isolation: 75 years of the UK’s national parks, 22 March)? If people aren’t sure where Eryri is, they could always look it up. I had to do that for the strait of Hormuz. It was useful to do so.
