That's not actually one we've heard of but we know their themed weekenders were very popular. Thanks for watching 😊 👍

Thanks again for you lovely comments, it's always very much appreciated. We love to put old comparison photos in when we cam, unfortunately it's not always possible as alot of the photos we find on the Internet are copyrighted so we'd either have to contact the owned for permission to use them which can be a lengthy process or risk getting our videos removed. We can sometimes do it if they are copyright free but the availability of these is often quite limited. It's definitely something we'll look more into doing in the future if we can. Thanks for watching 😊 👍

@ It was just an idea. We didn’t realise there was such a problem. Still very enjoyable though. We did go on line and found old photos of the mine in use which was very interesting along with your content.

It's amazing how many people visit this area mainly to climb Snowdon who are completely unaware of what else the town has to offer.. We could easily spend a whole week in Llanberis alone! That's for watching and your lovely comments and support as always 👍😊

You should! It's a beautiful place with so much history to find.. thanks for watching 😊 👍

Yes we were certainly aching abit the next day but definitely worth the effort! We never planned on exploring them all but found it hard to stop once we'd started! 😆 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Thanks for watching, definitely one to recommend if you're ever in the area! 👍😊

Yes the whole area around Llanberis is covered in history from the days of the quarries.. its a shame that most people only visit the town so they can climb a mountain! Hope you enjoy your holiday next year, you could easily spend a whole week in Llanberis alone! We decided to take the slightly longer but easier public footpath down from the top to avoid the steep stairs but still ached abit the next day but it was definitely worth it! Thanks for watching 😊👍

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍😊

Thanks Brian, we had a great day exploring, glad you enjoyed watching 👍😊

@ExploringWithEmAndStu You're welcome and thanks again for the interesting content as always 👍 😊

Its sad how much the coastline as change along here over the years mainly due to erosion. There much still be so much to find now overgrown and forgotten. We'd like to return one day if we get the chance to hunt for some more, thanks for your information and taking the time to comment 😊👍

I was just reading a post about it this morning.. such a shame it was left for so many years, it was a fascinating old building 😔

We actually thought the same having visited other sally ports of a similar age around Kent this one doesn't really seem to resemble them very much but all the old maps and diagrams from the time label it as a sally port so we decided we couldn't really argue with them lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😊 👍

Yes we've watched videos of 'the worlds deepest hotel' down there, it looks like quite an experience! We had hoped to carry on past the lake and up to Rhosydd and Conglog Quarries to see the other chapel and Managers house as well as so much more up there but sadly we ran out of time that day and being blighted by awful weather for the rest of our trip we didn't manage to return 😔 Thanks for the info about the mountains, if and when we return we'll be sure to remember. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😊👍

Thank you for your lovely positive feedback.. We'd like to think we've come along way from our early videos of bad sound quality, shaky footage and dodgy editing choices, some of which were truly awful! 😂 We don't have fancy expensive cameras or P.C editing software as sadly the channel doesn't make us enough money to afford to do so, we've just learnt over the years from our mistakes and tried to improve on them, and we've certainly had alot of mistakes to learn from! Hopefully we'll continue to improve and making more enjoyable and interesting videos and maybe one day we'll be able to invest in some better technology which would certainly make our lives easier and editing abit quicker.. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment, it's nice to know some people do actually appreciate the huge amount of time we have to put into making these videos especially when of course we both also have full time jobs and families etc. All the best Em and Stu 😊👍

Yes I believe they've held airsoft events there in the past 👍😊

Yes the Rotar Radar station site.. we went there once but were chased out by the angry owner and a pack of dogs! 🙈

@@FlightSimVRDad Thanks Mike, really nice to hear from you, glad you've been enjoying the videos. We're hoping to return again to Thorpe Abbotts at some point in the new year to try and explore some more.. 👍😊

@@ExploringWithEmAndStu I will be following you all the way there! Be well and keep up the good work, -Mike

Not on this occasion sadly, we really only had time to get to the west part of the quarry. Hopefully we'll be back in the future to explore some more.. Thanks for watching 👍😊

This really is a fantastic place and surprisingly fairly unknown considering how substantial it is. The work they've put into it since we first visited over 6 years ago now is quite outstanding! Thanks for watching, I'll pass on your compliments about the camera work to Stu, I'm sure he'll be quite glad you hear it 😁👍

Thanks Alice, researching these places gets quite addictive, there's just so much interesting history and stories to be told, we really had to hold back alot on this one with it being so huge! Thanks for watching as always 👍😊

Thanks! We really had to go back as our previous video as so awful! 😆 Really appreciate you watching and commenting 😊👍

Thanks Autumn, we really had to hold back with the amount of information and history here as the place is so big! It really is a gem of a place to visit and surprisingly quite unknown.. Thanks for watching and supporting us as always 😊👍

Thanks Ben we now know who to blame then! 😆 In the past we'd walked around the whole site as u know it wasn't exactly difficult back then, shame they won't let you as there's alot of really interesting bits the public don't get to see.. This place never gets boring, I'm sure we'll be back in the future 😊👍

Thanks Stephen, we appreciate you watching as always 😊👍

Thanks Brian, really glad you enjoyed watching, this place is incredible and fairly unknown surprisingly.. We'll definitely be back again in the future 😊👍

@ExploringWithEmAndStu Thanks you're welcome that was a very interesting place indeed for sure 🙂

Thanks for watching Adrian, glad you enjoyed it.. its certainly turning cold up here in Norfolk too.. 😁👍

The Thames is an incredible place to Mudlark.. we're on the waiting list for a Thames permit but I think we'll be waiting quite some time yet! For now Kent is still quite interesting although quite far away from us sadly.. Thanks for watching 😊👍

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching 👍😊

Thanks for watching Ian, glad you enjoyed it 👍😊

You should definitely go! We're doing one of our local Christmas railways this year which should hopefully be fun! Although not as scenic and the ones in Wales.. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍

That was actually one of my first thoughts but when I looked it up i couldn't really find one the same but I guess there was different types so it's still a possibility.. Hopefully we'll find out for sure one day.. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍

Thanks Chris, we've been here a few times now, shame these places are slowly all being lost.. Glad you liked the video 👍😊

@@ExploringWithEmAndStuyes agree totally. I’m an ex RAF electronics technician of 83 to 2005 vintage … I did a lot of work down the last few of the R3 Bunkers and some different setups in Cornwall and as far North as you can go in the British Isles at the top of the isel of Unst innthe Shetland Isles and also in the outer Hebrides. I did a 2.5 year tour at RAF BUchan working in the communications system down in the R3 bunker. Sadly that bunker like a few other R3’s at Neatishead and Ash closedown down. Buchans was run down in the last 15 years or so and a natural spring apparently was left unchecked and the whole R3 was lost and is completely underwater. I started downing some research on Chain Home back in the 90s but sadly forgotten most of what I learnt about it… but I shall get my head back 8nto it. near were I was based in Cornwall there used to be a CH L site with a separate Transmitter building and the Receive, genny and intake substation along with some accom down the road was at a place called Trerew farm just on the Truro side of Newquay … I was based at the HF transmitter station at RAF St Eval …. A lot of folk thought it closed down in 1959 which it did but the MOD a bought the site back again and put a chain link fence around the perimeter track and built 2 transmitter buildings. We used to provide HF long distant communications to the Nimrods and Shackletons and any other maritime aircraft. The receiver site was at Penhale Sands which is a Royal Navy receiver site but the building which is a big concrete blob on the hill overlooking Penhale Camp. The system was called MATELO but after the Nimrods were scrapped it all changed. The RAF a doesn’t look afte the transmitters anymore I think Babcock now do what I used to do along with my colleagues… we had some great laughs… when our chief was at college we would race up and down the main runway … have BBQs if the weather was nice… we used to get all the work done in the morning and often muck about fixing our cars or firing bow and arrows …. Y favourite pastime was getting out an old electric lawnmower I donated to our section and out the back of the transmitter building we had a nice bit of grassed area which we used to look after as it was great BBQ area … I used to enjoy mowing giant penises in the grass so that the Civvie flights in and out of Newquay could see as they would fly over our sight…. Great post that was… anyway I digress… If you are interested in the more recent history of any bunker … if I know it and as long as I don’t get shot for breaching the OSA I’d gladly be happy to answer any questions if I can help 😂

Yes the graffiti is always very frustrating, it's such a great historical place to explore its a shame some people just want to spoil it.. It would be lovely to see this place looked after better and the Drop Redoubt to the east of the site is taken care of by the local preservation society.. Sadly with miles of revetments and a huge complex of underground tunnels where access isn't particularly easy as always it comes down to lack of funds sadly.. 😕

That's certainly not a bad suggestion.. hopefully one day I'll find out for sure.. That tiny button is definitely the smallest I've ever found! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😊

Mudlarking had that effect on us too.. we went from having never heard of it to travelling almost 4 hours away so we could do it! Glad you found the video relaxing to watch, that's always my aim... 👍😊

That's actually a very good suggestion Kate.. definitely one to do some research into.. Thanks 😊

The tiny button is certainly a lovely little find! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍😊

Thanks Barry! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 👍

I find it such a relaxing activity to do, I always try to portray that in the videos.. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 👍

Thanks hope you enjoy it! 😊👍

@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Always 😊

We looked at all the services running that day and although the Caernarfon to Porthmadog journey does look amazing unfortunately it was a little out of our price range.. apparently my parents took me on it as a child but sadly I was too young to really remember.. hopefully one day in the future when we return to Wales we'll try out some more of the routes as there was plenty to choose from and such a great experience.. Glad you enjoyed watching our little day out, we had alot of fun! 😊👍

We've been to Ganges in the past, fascinating place but sadly not all the memories people have shared with us were positive. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it 😊👍

It really is such a beautiful journey, unfortunately we were enjoying it too much to remember to get much footage! 😂 We've been on a few different heritage railways over the years and this was definitely one of the more comfortable ones! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍

Thanks Kate! We had a great day out, definitely recommend.. really glad you enjoyed this one 😊👍

Thank you! Always appreciate your lovely comments 👍😊

Thanks Brian, we had a fun day out.. glad you enjoyed watching 👍😊

@@ExploringWithEmAndStu You're welcome thanks it certainly looked fun 😊 enjoyed the video 😊

Yes we know we are happy it's being used again. Thank you for your comment on this 🙏

Also I'm pretty sure they the thatched cottage burnt down because I fire work landed on the roof

@James45786 omg that's actually terrible

@@ExploringWithEmAndStu and I think the other one was abandoned because the other one caught fire I'm not sure tho
