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 👍
We visited Vivian quarry, the inclines (we didn't go all the way to the top) and the slate museum, over 30 years ago, and thought it was tremendous. We are hoping to go back this summer and take our grandsons. From what I remember, those slate steps are harder work going down. My calves were aching the next day!
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 😊👍
Many a time i.ve driven down the Llanberis Pass totally unaware of this industrial history.Thank you Em and Stu for shining a light on this important part of our heritage.Also a big shout out to Findlay the young Indiana Jones of ultimate exploring!😀👍
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 👍😊
Well done Em and Stu, This was so interesting and well researched. I feel it’s a place we should visit in the future. The only thing that I would have loved to see is old photographs when the mine was being used. Your content and deliverance of it was very good. Keep up the high standard, you’re doing very well. Ian and Angie.
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.
Really liked this one guys, fascinating stuff and well delivered. 👍
Thanks for watching, definitely one to recommend if you're ever in the area! 👍😊
That was great, quite well preserved. All that walking and stairs has me winded, and i was just watching, lol.
