The barriers have come down around the permissive footpath through the Wylfa Nature Trail. But the footpath in sections is virtually walkable do to liquid mud created by the vehicles used to get the drilling rigs and out of the area.

'Many will be disappointed' - Yes

Controversial overhead power lines across Anglesey are the preferred option for the planned £8bn Wylfa Newydd nuclear station.
But National Grid (NG) has ruled out pylons for an area of outstanding natural beauty with cables set to run underground and under the Menai Strait.
The route will broadly follow the path of existing pylons.
NG said it realised that "many will be disappointed" that cables would not run all the way under the sea.

Spring Already

Spring already? Here at Port y Ogof.

Looking North

Panarama looking north from survey site.
Castyll Gardens to the left, Porth y Pistyll in middle and Wylfa A on right.


Reduced Access by Public

I would suggest that public access to this section of the footpath network is reducing. This kissing gate between Castyll Gardens and Wylfa to Porth y Pystel is barely used now and the thorns and gorse are closing in around it. The muddy nature o f the footpaths and the noise of the machinery may be displacing regular walkers to the quieter ares to the west and east.

Still quiet on the lorry, drilling, digger front, only two vehicles adding more crushed debris from demolished buildings to the improvised trackways around the survey site in the countryside.
