There's a petition doing the rounds about this well loved campsite. I thought it might be of interest here.

Never been to Shell Island, and I don't do online petitions... but I've signing this one!!

Absolutely preposterous!
They're not even the landowner, but merely a tenant! The Welsh government (The landowner) should put their foot down and demand emergency access be available when needed.

I'm tempted to say that, in the meantime, emergency services should withdraw from attending to any call out at Snowdonia Aerospace LLP... But I guess that would bring me down to their level, so I won't!

Tosser's!

As usual with these things there will be 2 sides to the story, and we are only hearing one of them.

What I do know is that Llanbedr Airfield is now much busier than it used to be, by all sorts of different aircraft, some of them unmanned.

Only once we get the FULL story will I consider my opinion.

Nothing.
The problem is that at the moment, when the main access to the Island is closed due to the tide they leave the alternative access open for the emergency services, but use of the air field is increasing, so access will have to be controlled and vehicles escorted across. This will mean that there will have to be people and vehicles present at all times. That costs money and no-one is willing to pay for it.

Perhaps this is a reason?

According to the "Daily Post" on December 4th 2017

The Snowdonia airfield which was in the running to become the UK's first spaceport to receive funding of £500,000 from Gwynedd Council.

Oh My Goodness.

See how it goes.
If it is going to be the UK spaceport then i think you will lose the whole Island eventually.
Shame but it will happen in the end am affraid.
