GLAMPING ON A SLATE MINE!! - VLOG

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- So from time to time I do get asked for vlog style videos and I have done them in the past (Castleton & York). I have recently visited Llechwedd Slate Glamping 🏔⛺️ up on the mountain tops of Snowdonia in North Wales 🏴 and have decided to film my 2 day stay there. The location is very secluded and off grid and if you like disconnecting from the world every now and then (I'm sure we all do) then this will be the place for you! its a back to basics.. fire, views and a nature kind of place but totally peaceful and great for some headspace.
Video's like this break up the channel and it gives you all a little bit of insight into what I get up to when I'm not filming my Vlogumentaries. I know it's not everyones cuppa tea but I like to put them on the channel as some of you might like to visit these kinds of places? And if you can't get out at least it might feel like you have just for that short time.
So anyway, I will be dropping this video on Friday so keep your eyes out for it, and if its not for you then I'll see you in the next Video!
Take care everyone & as always thanks for the support! - D.M ✌️🐒

Loved it! The three of you had a great break and it was a pleasure to watch. The idea of having the warmth of the wood fire, beer, the sound of the rain on the roof and of course the good company... can't beat it!
Thanks for watching Padraic! Yeah it’s mad how the simplistically is always the key to happiness. What more could you ask for. Thanks for watch mate, take care 🙌🏼🍺
There is something magical about Wales. We were taken there by a gran and grandad for what I always think of as our first proper holiday.
You are right Phil. It’s a magical place mate, it has a magnetic pull and like many we’ve have some great childhood memories. It never seems to change either. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Ahhhh, you did look sad at the end, I could tell you were sorry to be leaving such a beautiful location. Snowdonia is spectacular any time of the year - I know the mountains well from my younger days of hiking and climbing. Got me interested in this glamping business now though - extra comfort much appreciated. Happy all three of you had a brill weekend and thanks for sharing. Take care all of you.
Thanks so much Shire. That place was an amazing little break! Just what we needed at the time and something I would definitely recommend 🙌🏼
My mate has his own OFF GRID place in Simmons yat ,just a simple Tarp set up where He has to trek a good way into the forest before he reaches it,no one has ever discovered it to my knowledge n its progressed over the years..
That was great DM. Thanks for bringing us along on your wet weekend in Wales. I'm amazed by your editing skills, even your choice of music was inspired. The use of slow motion and fading set the mood perfectly. Brilliant job mate.
Thanks so much Mike, that's very kind of you. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, such a beautiful place that ill hopefully be going back to! Thanks once again mate and take care
Absolutely beautiful place...ya can't beat Wales for the peace and tranquility 👍🏴
Wow! What a stunning place!! I know Ruth would love it there at night looking up at the stars 😁
And that waterwheel!!😍😍 I certainly think another visit is needed, we need to know its story lol
Glad you had a great time and lovely to see Georgia and Maggie Moo again 🤗💯👍
Liking how you started with the most important thing first.... A brew
haha! its alway top of the list !
⭐ of the vlog 🦮 Maggie . Lovely views, glad you and George had a lovely weekend break.
Thanks so much, we will definitely be going back. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Brilliant again. Looks an amazing place full of history and somewhere, as you say, where you can get off the grid for a short time.
Yeah it’s gorgeous mate. really nice for a peaceful break 👍🏼
Absolutely stunning, the place, the video, you truly have the most amazing talent for video making, could watch you and your vlogs over and over 👌Thank you.

Looks amazing where you stayed I like finding things like the water wheel you spotted it looked interesting & the history of the slate mine good video this mate 👍
It’s totally different to what I normally do mate but thought people would enjoy it. I’m so glad I recorded it. The place has some seriously old history to it. I could possibly do a full Vlogumentary on it if I’m ever up that way again. Thanks fo watching mate and take care 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 cheers 👍
Wow thank you , I think we may give that place a go
Thanks for watching! Yeah it’s a beautiful place with plenty of quarries. I’m absolutely sure you’d find all sorts there 🙌🏼
That dog is so adorable🥺🥺🥺🥺
☺️☺️🐶🐶
Thanks for taking us along with you 😊
Thank you for coming along with us Anne 🙌🏼⭐️
Loved this video, it looks really peaceful out there and you did include a bit of historical content as well. LOL I can relate to your panic attack, it has happened to me many times, it's either food, money or gas. It's okay if it's my buddies and I, but with wife and kids the anxiety turns to 11. For panic cuisine I usually go with smoked sausages and tortillas, easy on a stove or fire.
Thank for watching Paul! It’s was such a beautiful place and full of history too. Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt like that! 😂 sausages and tortillas are going to be with me next time that’s for sure 😂😂 thanks once again buddy and take care 👍🏼🙌🏼
Great video, I love it how you take interest in your surroundings. Be a cracking place to take my drone lol. Glad you all enjoyed it. Les
Thanks a lot mate, Yeah your wrong would get some great shots buddy! there's potential for another video due to the amount of history that's up there. Thanks once again and take care
loved your vlog again mate even on a weekend away you get the atmosphere spot on your a real talent bud keep it up love it .
Thanks for the kind words Matin, I'm glad that you enjoyed it mate.
Wow..... beautiful views absolutely amazing 😄
Brilliant video, Will have to look at booking this 😊
Thanks a lot Chris, I recommend it that’s for sure. Thanks a lot for watching mate 👍🏼
Absolutely loved this 💕 what a fantastic place ... I hope they give you a free visit because this is the best advert they could have! Really wonderful seeing it all and you’re inspiring me to go. Mags is just *ACE* 😍💕🐾. There should definitely be a Daft Monkey and Mags show! Hilarious filming of you ‘returning from the hunt’ dragging your kill of hotdogs and buns 😂. Love everything you do and this has been wonderful to watch. Wondered if that little room under the bridge would have been something to do with goods or n/out for the slate mine with it being next to the toad, acting as a little hut/shelter for a man? Really enjoyed watching this 😍 #goMags x
Excellent video Beautiful intresting place ,would love a stay. Love your humour in vids your opinion about the village houses is classic with an apology too🤣 👌
Aww thanks a lot Mandy, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time out to watch the video. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Haha yeah it was a bit of a strange experience to put it politely 😁 thanks once again and take care 🙌🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 Thankyou for your amazing work you share with us bringing intresting history back alive during the watch Very talented young man.

I loved your vlog, so funny and it looked like all 3 of you had a fantastic time :) the off grid accommodation looked beautiful, did you manage to skywatch ? Maggie is hilarious, so sweet. It looked so cozy and the surrounding very beautiful. Tfs ❣🔴🟡🟢
Aww thanks so much Ruth! We had an amazing time and a place I would definitely go back. I kept thinking that Mr. Ranks would have took inspiration from that and created some artwork from it given it was mine related ⛏. Haha Maggie is amazing isn’t she. She’s currently doing what she does best right now....sleeping haha she’s still recovering from the walk😂 thanks for watching and take care Ruth x
Top video pal. Looks like a quality place.
Knew it was my home lol Sadly, we ain't in Snowdonia National Park It literally circles around us. Very blessed to live here though. Big difference to Newton Heath! Glad you enjoyed your stay
Wow your so lucky Elly! It’s absolutely beautiful around that whole area, haha yeah beats Newton Heath hands down. Thanks so much for watching and take care ⭐️🙌🏼
Lovely dog
Thanks Tyrone :)
Pot noodles, beer and tomato soup, what else do yer need 😂
😂😂 could live off that for the rest of my life haha
We Glamped at Warwickshire Castle n saw Orbs in our tent... serious I have a pic somewhere..
Wow! That’s mad! Scary!
First of all my friend u need to organise your food better🤣 I love all this going around the old slate mining area, ya dog's ace by the way, cheers 🍻 👏
Haha! Lesson learned mate! I always carry some emergency grub with me these days 😆
I think you’ve found your niche with these last few videos visiting places not just exclusive to Manchester, and digging into the history of the place. A good spooky/murder story in there for good measure too!
Thanks for much Chelsy, Yeah there's so much potential for another video but delving into the dark side of things! Thanks for watching and take care
Wales is so beautiful my dad used to take us every October, I haven't been here though and those glamping huts look amazing 😍 I love the sound of rain too. Great video as always. Also Maggie is an absolute 🌟
Thanks for watching Vicky! Wales always brings back so many childhood memories for me too. It never seems to change either. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for watching ⭐️🙌🏼
Another great video mate Wales is so beautiful. The 3 of you looked like you had a ball. All the best mate 👍🏻
Is that the slate mine in Blaenau Ffestiniog?
We did Ian, it was brilliant. Yeah it is mate, absolutely beautiful. I would definitely go back 🙌🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 so much to see and do there mate . Lived there for 3 yrs some amazing memories.
Was great video 👍🏻
@@ianmaddams9577 I was actually considering moving to north wales not to long ago…do you have any recommendations mate?
@@daftmonkey7296 I lived near a place called Tremadog. The village was tiny I lived in called Garndolbenmean
I worked as an instructor at an activity centre many yrs ago. Some of the best times of my life👍🏻 I went back to for a wkend with my wife to see how it’s changed. The centre has shut down now it was originally the mill for a place called Brynkir hall. In the cwm pennant valley . The ruins of the hall are on the site of the cwm pennant activity centre where I worked and is absolutely stunning when you find it . There is stuff online about the hall . All the best mate 👍🏻
@@ianmaddams9577 sounds like it holds fond memories for you Ian. And it looks beautiful, I’ve just checked it out online. Thanks for the message mate! If I got I’ll be sure to Vlog it ✌🏼
Proper cosy in there ant great stuff wanna go now kids would be bored
Thanks Tonea, I highly recoupment it, kids on the other hand could be a bit bored. Thanks for watching mate
I'd like to holiday like that with the wife and son but wouldn't even know where to start.... Some tips would be appreciated
How much would it cost for a weekend there and where do I book it.
It's not tea without bread and butter
