En: The day began peacefully in Cwm Taf, with the sun smiling over the peaks of the Bannau Brycheiniog. Cy: Bydde bron pob pŵl o ddŵr yn leth i helpu Eira a Gwyn wrth iddynt baratoi ar gyfer eu taith. En: Almost every pool of water was clear to help Eira and Gwyn as they prepared for their journey. Cy: Roedd Eira yn brofiadol, yn barod i anturio, tra roedd Gwyn, ei frawd iau, yn frwdfrydig ac yn benderfynol o ddangos ei allu. En: Eira was experienced, ready for adventure, while Gwyn, her younger brother, was enthusiastic and determined to show his ability. Cy: Roedd y gobaith o gwblhau'r llwybr yn apelio, ond roedd y gwres yn uchel ar ddiwedd y gwanwyn hwn. En: The hope of completing the trail was appealing, but the heat was intense at the end of this spring. Cy: Gan ddechrau â'r bore cynnar, roedd y ddau yn cerdded llwybrau a chorstir, camerâu yn dal y golygfeydd godidog. En: Starting with the early morning, the two walked paths and moorlands, cameras capturing the magnificent views. Cy: Roedd defaid yn crwydro, a'r gwynt yn ysgafn. En: Sheep roamed, and the wind was gentle. Cy: Ond wrth dringo’r copa, sylweddolodd Eira bod y tymheredd yn codi’n sydyn. En: But as they climbed the peak, Eira realized the temperature was rising rapidly. Cy: Roedd ofni'r peryglon wrth rhyw dir cythryblus. En: She feared the dangers of such turbulent terrain. Cy: "Gwyn," meddai, "gad i ni fynd yn arafach, mae'n oeri." En: "Gwyn," she said, "let's go slower, it's getting cooler." Cy: Doedd Gwyn ddim yn gwrando; roedd awydd iddo gadw ar fynd, i gwblhau’r her. En: Gwyn wasn't listening; he wanted to keep going, to complete the challenge. Cy: Ond wrth iddo fynd ymhellach, roedd ei gamau'n dechrau gostwng. En: But as he went further, his steps began to falter. Cy: "Rydyn ni'n agos, dwi'n siŵr," roedd yn dweud, ond roedd Eira'n sylwi ar flinedd ei gamau. En: "We're close, I'm sure," he said, but Eira noticed the fatigue in his steps. Cy: Pan gyraeddon nhw fan uchaf, roedd haul yn mynnu tueddu ei ddoniol gariad. En: When they reached the top, the sun insisted on displaying its playful affection. Cy: "Gwyn, edrychwch - rhaid i ni stopio yma," annogodd Eira. En: "Gwyn, look - we have to stop here," Eira urged. Cy: Dechreuodd Gwyn deimlo'n benysgafn; arwydd clir o drawstrok gwres. En: Gwyn began to feel lightheaded; a clear sign of heatstroke. Cy: Roedd ei swyngipio yn sobor serchus. En: His initial excitement turned sobering. Cy: Heb oedi, tynnodd Eira Gwyn dan cysgod coeden, a rhoes efain i'w ben ac ei wddf. En: Without hesitation, Eira pulled Gwyn under the shade of a tree and applied a damp cloth to his head and neck. Cy: "Ein dyframa anwenol," atgoffodd Eira, troi’r ffordd i gadw Gwyn eang. En: "Our unquenchable thirst," Eira reminded, finding a way to keep Gwyn alert. Cy: Ymkindodd y ffon symid: sobri aedal, dal cân goff. En: The mobile phone stirred: rescue was nearby, and help was on the way. Cy: Cawsant gyswllt gyda cherbyd arall o deithwyr yn cerdded a oedd yn gyfarwydd, a chymryntoli eu cynal a gynnal gwasanaeth cyntaf. En: They got in touch with another group of travelers who were familiar with the area and provided first aid. Cy: Tra roedd Gwyn i wella, gallai Eira anadlu o wcog oforderihedd. En: While Gwyn was recovering, Eira could breathe a sigh of relief. Cy: Yn y diwedd, gydag ymffordd gymorth, daeth dydd diogel i ben. En: In the end, with support, a safe day concluded. Cy: Daeth Gwyn yn fwy ymwybodol o bŵer natur ac y cawson nhw brofiad buan a defnyddiol. En: Gwyn became more aware of the power of nature, and they had a brief and valuable experience. Cy: Gydag Eira yn gwerthfawrogi amgylchiadau ansicr bywyd, roedden nhw’n llawn pwyslais na fyddent byth yn gorfod gwintio â'r amser sydd ar gael. En: With Eira appreciating the uncertain circumstances of life, they emphasized never to waste the time they have. Cy: Roedd y Bannau'n sefyll yn ddiofyn, serenni wrth iddyn nhw dcymwyth gyda diolch. En: The Bannau stood steadfast, shining as they moved forward with gratitude. Cy: Roedd hwnnw’n storïa o brofiad, lle bu natur ar ei orau - a’i wleder pwysla. En: It was a story of experience, where nature was at its best—and its most challenging.
