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..
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 !! 😡.
@@tazminmoore455 thank you very much. Yes, these are the sort of idiots that give respectful drone operators a bad name for sure. We have been a few times now, but autumn is always the best we feel.Thanks again🙏👍😊
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.
One word Mark Wow fantastic capture of our explore that day, loved the drone footage and photos fantastic work from a very enjoyable day 👌
@@rucksack1956 cheers Richard. Yes it was a great day for sure & imagine if only we had some decent light 👌👍😊
