I spent many a weekend on Ynys Gaint when it was a base for the Royal Crops of Transport (Amphibious) [Wales]and used as a WTC for other units involved in mountain and water activities training. In those pre-breathalyser days it needed skill and a lot of luck to manoeuvre a long wheel base Land Rover back across the causeway after closing time on Saturday. Though the hutments are still on the island, and a parliamentary answer of 2002 lists Ynys Gaint as one of the MOD's bases on Anglesey, the only sign at the roadway end of the causeway nowadays is a 'Private. No Entry" sign.
