It's not just the camera, it's who is using jt!

I Lived in Llanfairfechan below in the 70's as a child, went up there a few times, seemed very steep at the time.

Great video Mark and a reminder of the sights to be seen around Llanberis. I enjoy the walk to the hospital as it tends to be quieter than the main quarry these days

Well what can I say Mark more fantastic work from another great jaunt out all being this one last minute. I love your drone footage of the waterfall I think I was being a bit more wary of the tree branches lol. 😂 May I add we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for the New Year, catch you then on our next jaunt 👌

Nice video mark!

Chwarel.

My father in law spent forty plus years up there when there was still a mountain the mountain now is a fraction of the size it used to be it used to dwarf the works clock in pen sadly the quary got rid of him because he had severe arthritis they would have had to employ him now under the disability act some of those pony's would have been bred from his stock as all the farmers in that area own them.

MAGAZINES: The thing about magazines is the smell if nothing else

Great video Mark!❤

Fantastic video!

Hi Mark, if you & Rich had not shown the opening to Maenofferen to Steve & I earlier in the year, we'd have gone up here. Then again, as we went underground that day, we're looking at going back here early in 2025. I hope you're well?

Love the slate quarry videos. The ones around Bethesda were my playground during the early 60's, where I spent my 6 week summer school holidays every year. These fascinated me and I was spoilt for choice as I roamed the area between Aber falls and Nant Francon Pass, where small trial digs were abundant. Penrhyn had steam locos and slate splitting in progress, (I had a go), but my daily quarry was right on my doorstep. Out the front door and down Bryn Teg street was Pantdreiniog Quarry, a deep pit with water at the bottom and a massive spoil tip overlooking the town. My Aunt forbade me from going anywhere near it, but I went there every day and eventually raised the courage to get to the bottom. Only once. The spoil tip had a view over the town that felt like flying. Keep the vids coming..

I have got to get back there..

Lovely location again Mark. This is why you don’t see too much drone footage on my channel, I mostly go to places where you are not supposed to fly, so I don’t.

nice one Lads, cheers Den..

One word Mark Wow fantastic capture of our explore that day, loved the drone footage and photos fantastic work from a very enjoyable day 👌

I seem to recall my geology professor saying that Penmaenmawr granite was not a true granite being am igneous diorite.

Cheers for that guys, great drone footage and stills too, as you said a different perspective.

Great video, love the drone footage ! 😁. You've shown me the bits I didn't or couldn't see. I went in September. First visit, gorgeous weather, I had a real blast 😁😁. Good schooch about for several hours, took lots of pics, very few people around. On the subject of drones I was out walking somewhere else and a drone appeared in front and just above me and followed me for a couple of minutes. If it had been within reach I might have been tempted to have knocked it out of the sky !! 😡.

The buildings are locked up because there are either Bats or Birds in there. I viewed a vireos on it a while back, just can't remember if it was Bats or Birds. Gone past this quarry many times over 50 years and always had a good look up. Is the clock still there?

Great work Mark. Will take a trip here when I stop off near Barmouth on my Pembrokeshire and Brecon Beacon trip next year.

Lovely location as always Mark. I am planning a trip up to Wales, hopefully this year, some waterfall photography is needed. As always great little chat, Personally I do go for the long exposure more often than not, however like you said a time and a place for it. I shoot long exposure and then get one with a faster shutter speed too. Because until I get home I never know what I will like, so cover all bases lol. As for right and wrong, its Photographys best feature and biggest mystery, When photography became a thing, everyone was saying sharp images are the right thing and then came along ICM lol, If there is another way of photographing something, someone will like it and someone will hate it.

Nice video Mark! Yeah location and speed of water normally dictates the shutter for me!

Another splendid day out in a beautiful place, thanks for the footage and shots.

The catenary incline from tanygrisiau station to the hole in the mountain is fascinating, and well worth an ascent if you're sure footed!

Just ignore these people. By talking about it here you have shown a reaction, giving them some satisfaction. 6.30 showing great images, over 7 mins talking about someone "not" upsetting you.

Hello everyone, Kelly here...beautiful footage and photos in a serene setting, Thank you!! It amazes me how some people are so closed minded and confrontational with others believing that there own veiwpoint is the only one thats valid. Life is so much better than that in its highs and in its lows. The sun will rise again tomorrow! Looking forward to your next travel!!! Kelly

What a place that is Mark. Loved the images and the video. Any info on where to park and how to find the falls? Thanks for any help 👍

Hi mark, from a local man crap! My area is, compared to yours, great video I would love to visit that location one day. It looked amazing, I’d love to visit all the locations you head out to but this one with the water falls wow, it’s mushroom season. I’ve seen quite a few recently l, I remember last year I couldn’t find any and the entire season I barely found them. As for trolls I get the same occasionally I try and do the same leaves nice comment, social media is full of keyboard warriors But seriously I want to jump in the car and head up there now. What a location

Great drone footage, that place is very green lol. I had a look for that dude can't find anything anywhere, your usual troll, sad really, maybe they should take up photography and surprise us all!

How wonderful 😍, and you had the waterfall to yourselves, too! I have a small confession to make .... It was me who ate all the mushrooms 😁😁😂😂, just love mushrooms, couldn't resist them !! " Its crap " 🤔🤔. That's a very interesting, intelligent comment. I wonder how they arrived at that conclusion. Clearly we're in the presence of an intellect and wit that far surpasses our own. What they don't seem to comprehend is that in a few weeks they will be forgotten about and no one will remember them or what they said. Whereas you and Richard will not be forgotten! And that ( as Forrest Gump would say ) is all I have to say about that.

Interesting video! Did you mention Victoria Sponge 😋😋😁😁. I've kayaked a few times in Llyn Dinas. There's a larger lake not far away , Llyn Cwellyn?🤔. Very good kayaking there! Have you been inside any of the copper mines you come across?

Interesting history lesson 😁. I didn't know about the flying boats, so I've learned something.

I've visited Porth Wen several times and walked that stretch of coastal path. It can get quite busy in height of summer and the bay is full of boats and jet skies. Love being able to see the beach from a perspective I wouldn't have without the drone.

The colours are indeed incredible when the sun shines! I have a photo of the little cave/ mine entrance you went into taken on a sunny day and the surrounding rock is blue. Did you know some episodes of Dr Who were filmed at Parys Mountain ? 😂.

Eryri is the most wonderful, magical place. It never fails to take my breath away. I've not been where you are, it looks stunning 😍.

Love the drone footage, adds a whole different perspective😄. I was at Rhaeadr Fawr on Saturday. I've lived in Anglesey 13 years and never visited it before 😲. Absolutely breath taking 😍, but too busy for me. Should have picked a weekday!

Great views as always mate. The history in These places is incredible, you could make a documentary for the bbc with your videos

Started well. Half the video talks about yourself and TH-cam and capitalising, making money this is our garden. Parch/Respect. Paddy

From locals,crap

Hello, Kelly here... Again, very nice. In my "Minds Eye" I can picture the freshness of the air and the earthy smells. Looking forward to the next Vlog!! Thanks....

Hello Kelly here...very nice😊 Another one to enjoy next... Thanks Mark and Richard!

Hello Everyone, Kelly here...have been busy, just catching up on your videos. I have a few more to watch, as always I very much enjoyed this one and I know I will also enjoy the others.😊 Question for you about the music. Can I search and find it or is that something only content creators have access to? On to the next one! Thanks Mark!

Great video mark! All the machinery looked great with the blooming heather!

Nice one

Full marks again on another interesting explore Mark. We must get back to gain drone footage in less windy weather. Great stills and drone footage 🙂👌.

Good to see a different location Mark, often pass by here on my way to Rhyd Ddu. I used to subscribe to Outdoor Photography but gave it up a few years ago, Yes it was good until so many articles started to repeat themselves.

Gorgeous day 😍 really brings the colour out in the heather.

Brilliant video, fascinating! S C Dancing & the Voice.. they don't always pick my winner.. 😆
