I used to live in Brombil between the age of 10-20. Absolutely loved walking up there.
I gave the vid a thumbs up :) I'm from Port Talbot, born and bred, nearly 27 years now 😁
Thanks! ☺️
This ones definitely on my list to visit soon looks good
It was really great! Wear good shoes and pick a non-rainy day and you will have a blast :)
@@TeuluTribe cheers yeah looking at that track its a boots or wellies job!
Just like to say the guy walking up the hill with bike at end is me ... blown my mind haha 😄
No way!! Hahaha what an incredibly small world
Hey, great video, I liked and subscribed 😁
Went every day for 15 years up here, it was basically my ' back garden'
Used to swim there back in the 70s - seems smaller now, but I was just a kid so that's understandable I guess. Bloody freezing too - even in the hot summer.
Glad to see that you had a nice time there. Sounds like it's a hidden gem!
It was amazing!! Defo worth the visit!
Wow is it ok to swim in here? This is my next bucket list, cheers for your video.
I don’t think you are allowed- I know it was definatley too cold for it when we went!
@@TeuluTribe oh ok i still definitely going in here then just for visit..thank you for the info anyway..
The water is fresh from the hill streams, therefore almost ice cold. Back in the day when the water level was about 10ft lower and the banks we not so overgrown, we used to run and bomb from the banks, or paddle from the side. Only mad fools would swim across as the fear of cramp put most off.
@@howardstephens5003 Absolutely ,30 years ago had a scuba mask and went to the middle, decided to swim down and check out the bottom where I found couple of dead sheep and loads of 45 gallon drums. Immediately shot to the surface lol. Water was so cold, could feel the cramps coming into my arms, went so bad a could not move them. Had to use my legs to kick to the other side, but was much steeper and harder to get out. Smashed my mask trying to get out of the water as I looked like a beached seal as my arms were not working. Never again.Young and dumb lol.
No, it’s like many old quarries, amazing turquoise waters, which are super cold and have caught many people out over the years, who’ve sadly ended up dead.
