Your channel has rapidly become my go to whenever I go on TH-cam, love the videos, so many fascinating places you visit and they've been an inspiration for my next trip to Snowdonia, on that note, what's the headroom like in these tunnels and adits, Rhosydd adit 9 in particular? It's difficult to tell from your videos but they look quite low, I'm hoping to visit Maenofferen, Rhosydd and Conglog, I'm able bodied but my back doesn't fare well if I have to bend over for an extended length of time and I'm 6'3". Keep up the great work Chris and thank you.
Rhosydd no9 is quite high, more or less walk straight, same as most the tunnels, just every now and then you might have a lower head height due to waste on floor
Brilliant video Chris I love this mine I've been in there 3 times and still have so much more to explore will be going in again next week hopefully exploring some of the deeper levels. Always worried im going to get lost though lol
Those signs make me giggle, Crossing a busy road has a danger of death as does riding a bicycle and many many more everyday things. Carry on Chris its great viewing and really interesting.
You mean inclines? It's only these mines around here you get them underground due to the angle of the slate, they're impressive when you stand at top looking down
My friend and I scaled the peak of the spoils in the opening at 1.10 minutes into the video, but never saw any passage ways so didn't explore. Wish we had done now!
Nice one, I don't mind making feature length videos 😂, but lots prefer 20 minute videos, trouble is, most mines are so big, you won't fit anything in 20 minutes
@@shonkytours2039 that's it absolutely, problem is if people struggle past 20min videos it's becouse there probably not that interested in the first place... Keep up the good work 🙌
Hi Chris, that wall is beyond comprehension as to how many man hours it took to create. Do you know how tall that big wall is Chris ?? I'm thinking 150 ft ??. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

Hi Christopher, is the Eimco a 12B? it looks quite small. That wall is astonishing. It's looks to be 120' at least, do you have a height for it. Thank you for taking us on your trip. God bless
It spans a floor and a half so definitely 100 feet, I'll have to look at old photo of eimco I've got saved somewhere, I've photographed the maker plate, should say on that
@@shonkytours2039 I've never seen a wall on anything like that scale underground. I'm interested in the Eimco because I have used a 12B and several LM56 rocker shovels underground. Great fun to operate as long as you keep your head out of the way. Great tour again and looking forward to seeing drop the man way and explore further. God bless
Oh the dreaded TG-6 camera shakes, i suspect you are using a TG camera. I have a TG-3 and i hate the shakes it creates. otherwise a wonderful camera. You know Patterdale, ok, yeah he uses the TG-6, they shake a bit.
No I just use my huawei p30 Pro phone. The camera is awesome. If I use a phone stabiliser (gimbal) the video is very smooth, but some times I need my hands free and can't use it, that's when I get camera shake, plus I walk fast without realising and film at same time. I'm trying to slow down a bit iff nott using gimbal
Fucking sick video man, thanks for sharing this! I've been meaning to go down for ages but couldn't find the right path from the road to the old cutting sheds and adit entrance. Any chance you could give me a rough guide as to how to get there? Cheers

That's great, thanks for your reply. Do you do organised meets at all?
So Glad I finally found your channel Chris been looking for it since met up in wales, great vid
I'm loving your videos, working my way through them love slate mines. Hope you doing OK.❤😊
Thanks Carol ❤️ glad you enjoy them
Excellent Tour Chris 👍 you're never boring.. thank you 😊
Love the videos you do mate im hooked on them you certainly know your way round them id love to start exploring these mines do you need permission
Awesome video my friend !.. looking forward to your grand tour 😀🤟🏼🔦
It's hard to find time 😖, but next on list is new car so I can get further away when I'm back home from work
Brilliant video Chris I love this mine I've been in there 3 times and still have so much more to explore will be going in again next week hopefully exploring some of the deeper levels. Always worried im going to get lost though lol
I've been in more than anyone, and still find new things. You can be in for hours and only see 20% of the place
Was over there Saturday,that's just passed the 2 drill holes, haven't had a look down yet,cracking vid again 👍
Great Watch Bones, I have really enjoyed watching your vids.

Nice one Ian, it's surprising how many end up watching the videos, can't believe how popular they're getting 😂
😱 Those walls! Truly a great explore. Thanks Christopher!
Yes, those walls are jaw dropping. They don't stop to amaze you, but camera does not do them justice
Those signs make me giggle, Crossing a busy road has a danger of death as does riding a bicycle and many many more everyday things.

Loved the rock ramp with the tracks, the arched portal with the growth was cool too.

That's a spooky mine, looks different to the others.

It's definitely over 30 to 40 metres so approximately 100 foot at least
@@shonkytours2039 it's very impressive. xx
Evidently it was built by the same person that did the railway bridge over the A470 after Dolwyddelen!!
