An Anglesey woman went above and beyond to thwart plans of converting a cherished village building into a holiday rental. Fundraiser Di Mills endured 24 hours on an uninhabited islet off the coast of Anglesey , insisting she'd decline a £10,000 offer to endure the ordeal again. Visibly shaken by the experience, Di tearfully shared details of her night in a video, describing gale winds, rain, and "seagulls like dinosaurs" on the deserted island.
The yoga teacher from Rhosybol, staged the daring act to fundraise for Porth Llechog (Bull Bay) boat house near Amlwch, a historic RNLI lifeboat house established in 1867. The boathouse has facilitated 41 rescues, saving 63 lives but now risks being stripped of its community ownership. Fearing it falling into the hands of property developers, campaigners need to raise £80,000 to acquire the building.
After an initial postponement, Di finally set foot on East Mouse this week, a barren 1.5-acre rocky islet lacking vegetation located several hundred metres away from Amlwch (its Welsh name is Ynys Amlwch), reports North Wales Live .
