Hafod Boeth Manganese Mine
มุมมอง 7498 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've been to this mine a few times, but not many actually know about it's hidden location. I tried taking Emily here a few weeks ago after visiting a different mine in the area and by the time we got here it was pitch black, so we turned back. I decided to come back in the daylight because it's a lovely obscure mine and I've not been to a manganese mine for a while 😊

2 Slate Mines.. One Day
มุมมอง 93211 หลายเดือนก่อน
Decided to visit Hen Gloddfa Slate Mine in Aberllefenni, and in way home Gaewern Slate Mine to show Garry the beautiful carved slate steps. See if you can hear the ghostly miner clearing his throat and spitting at 50:19, and some one whislteling faintly at 59:30 then some ghostly voice at 50:35. Proper spooky 👀👻🤯.... But needs volume louder

She was too camera shy to record a video, so I went back 3 weeks later to film level 3. I uploaded this video especially for my friend Christian who took is life last week, in his memory xxx.......

Due to the bad weather, and being without a car for a week or 2 I was forced to visit a local slate mine near my house. As I'd previously visited the higher levels last week I decided to visit the lowest level for you to see. Filled with amazing artifacts, old graffiti and flooded chambers

    Great vid as always. We attempted this one last winter (time goes so fast), but they were working at the entrance, so we explored the top quarry instead, in the pouring rain. Hoping to get back this winter. Keep the vids coming. Always a good day when you upload.

    Hi Chris, we were in Rhosydd yesterday 18/11/24. At 22.37 sec, you hop over the gap and see a glimpse of daylight from the West Twll. We got to this spot but it seemed we couldn't get any further, it was when I re watched this video last night at home, you evidently walked up the rubble to the next level. I have an excellent book ' Rhosydd Slate Quarry ' written by M.J.Lewis & J.H Denton, which we refer to as well as your videos. The info in the book and your superb videos made the visit top drawer. We had a quick look in Conglog on the way back down, but darkness was fast approaching so will have to look for one of your videos. I notice in the comments you don't mind accompanying others down into the mines, we (my mate and I ) have done a couple of trips down Maenofferen and would like to go with someone knowledgeable. Even after watching your trips, there's must be loads of stuff we miss, when from memory trying to follow in your footsteps. We fully understand if you no longer have 'hangers on '. Regards, Ben.

      You climb up the waste tip, there's rough path a bit further up which takes you to west twll. At West twll you cross the broken bridge, carry on through 2 chambers until you get to a chamber where you can't go no further, in this chamber you will see rough path down tip, go down until slate waste steps down, then head across to your left. Here is gsp to squeeze through, go through 2 chambers and climb up waste again you will get to different level with hobnail boots and artifacts, head right over small fall looking for tunnel, here you will get to another incline where at top is big pulley or at bottom of incline carry on further until you see manway down, this will get you yo Croesor mine, but from there on you need abseiling gear and ascenders. I really don't mind taking people underground, it saves me going alone, do just get in touch
