Conservationists Slam Snowdon Parking Plan

Surely the cost of parking at pen y pass can fund the cost of the sherpa bus ! No doubt the profit s being used to line someones pockets. People should not be allowed to own land in a nation park and use it to make personal gain where access is concerned.
Thats my opinion.

I would hope that if Snowdonia National Park Authority and Gwynedd Council are going to provide some parking spaces around the Pen-y-Gwryd junction that they will also create a proper footpath upto Pen-y-Pass to address the road safety issues of people walking along the road between these locations.

There is a path from the pen y gwyrd area too pen y pass.
It handrails the road down below, but never seems to be utilized.
I guess thats because people always want the easy option.

If I require a parking space I arrive early or use the park and ride.
The National Park should focus on free guided tours or something to keep the tourists and day trippers happy.
Some people just want to enjoy the scenery.

The authorities should make tourists feel welcome they raise revenue!
Thanks too North Wales Police they usually leave with some sort of speeding ticket as a reminder of their stay.

In my opinion they should stop people parking on the grass at
pen y gwyrd or atleast level off and tidy up the grass verge.

A few years back they stopped people parking on the sides of the road from pen y pass towards llanberis!

The worst case scenario is that they spend money putting a man made surface on the verge, then start charging too park on it.
Its not going to be done for free!
The outdoors is all about freedom!
