Lightsabers Appear on Cefn Sidan?



Hundreds of fluorescent tubes looking like lightsabers had came ashore on Sunday’s early morning tide. Pembrey Country Park campers who discovered them were keeping their eyes peeled for Darth Vader, Chewbacca or Luke Skywalker and the Stormtroopers.

Ranger Emyr Phillips said he had to rub his eyes when on beach patrol he came across several wigwams of the glass tubes in the dunes and then noticed a couple further along the beach walking with some of the ‘lightsabers.’




The couple told him they had been responsible for collecting the tubes off the low water mark where they had been washed up and walking them up the beach to the dunes because they did not want them to break and the glass being a danger to beach users.
The tubes are thought to have been jettisoned from a ship or to have been part of a lost cargo because they all washed ashore within a three-quarter mile stretch of the eight-mile long beach close to the Visitor’s Centre.



Mr Phillips said that he had thanked them for their public spiritedness before loading all the tubes and talking them to a place of safety for disposal. Beachcombers never know what they will find on Cefn Sidan. Over recent years there have been a batch of 500 deck chairs, thousands of bottles of sun tan lotion; a ship’s container full of new cars and a coconut tree with coconuts still attached.

Mae cannoedd o tiwbiau fflwroleuol sydd yn edrych fel lightsabers wedi dod i'r lan ar llanw gynnar bore ar ddydd Sul. Roedd gwersyllwyr yn Parc Gwledig Pen-bre wedi eu ddarganfod ac roedden nhw yn cadw eu llygaid ar agor am Darth Vader, Chewbacca neu Luke Skywalker ar Stormtroopers.

Fe ddywedodd y ceidwad Emyr Phillips ei fod wedi rwbio ei lygaid pan ddaeth ar batrôl traeth a dod ar draws sawl wigwam o'r tiwbiau gwydr yn y twyni tywod, ac yna sylwi ychydig ymhellach ar hyd y traeth pobl yn cerdded gyda rhai o'r 'lightsabers.' Dywedodd cwpl wrtho mae nhw oedd yn gyfrifol am gasglu'r tiwbiau oddi ar y marc distyll lle'r oeddent wedi eu golchi i fyny ac mae nhw oedd wedi eu dodi yn y twyni oherwydd nad oeddent am nhw cael eu torri, a'r gwydr fod yn berygl i ddefnyddwyr y traeth.

Credir bod y tiwbiau wedi cael eu aberthu o long neu ei fod wedi bod yn rhan o cargo a gollwyd oherwydd eu bod yn oll wedi eu golchi i'r lan mewn darn tri-chwarter milltir yn agos at y Ganolfan Ymwelwyr, er bod y traeth yn wyth milltir o hyd. Dywedodd Mr Phillips ei bod wedi diolch iddynt am eu egwyddor cyhoeddus cyn llwytho’r holl tiwbiau ac eu gosod yn ddiogelwch ar gyfer gwaredu.

Mae beachcombers byth yn gwybod beth fyddant yn dod o hyd i ar Cefn Sidan. Dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf gweler 500 o cadeiriau dec, miloedd o boteli o eli haul, cynhwysydd llong yn llawn o geir newydd a coeden cnau coco gyda cnau coco dal yn sownd iddo ar Traeth Cefn Sidan. .
