BBC Wales covered Deep Sleep in the evening news earlier today, a nice little three minute feature. This content is obviously the property of the BBC, reproduced here for archival purposes only. Find out more about Deep Sleep at www.go-below.co.uk

Deep Sleep took a great many people a long time and a lot of work to build. And yet, surprisingly little in the way of video footage exists, as very little was actually taken. Why? Because we were just too busy! When there is a lot of stuff to carry, one person holding a camera is never going to be popular. Still, some footage survives and I've compiled it into this short and punchy video. Not ...

The Yesterday Channel (part of UKTV) made a short documentary about the mine I work in (Cwmorthin) and the company I work for (Go Below Underground Adventures). The video talks about Cwmorthin's history, then shows some of the adventure trips offered, followed by a section about Deep Sleep (still under construction at the time of filming). It features two very dear friends of mine, Mike and Pre...

Rebecca Morris visits Deep Sleep - a new overnight adventure camp built 1,375 feet underground at the bottom of an abandoned slate mine in North Wales. This video is an interview with myself (Miles), and covers some of the technical considerations and challenges faced with the project. More information can be found on www.go-below.co.uk

This is a short video of the mighty Oldham Caplamp - stalwart hero of the British mining Industry for many decades.

Cool Lamps #07: The Concordia Electric Mining Safety Lamp (Cardiff)

This is a British made Nife NH10 portable flashlight. It used to have a rechargeable wet battery but now I've put in a modern Lithium Ion cell.

This is a cast-aluminium safety torch, made in London from 1957. It takes three D cells and apart from its very sturdy construction, it is otherwise quite unremarkable.

This video shows you a few different examples of the CEAG Electric Mining Lamp, made in Barnsley, Yorkshire - England, from the 1920's. Also included is a look at my modern LED converted version.

I've managed to acquire the cabin flashlight from a Boeing 747 that was being dismantled. This video is a brief look at it and how it works.

Another one of my many mining lamps, this one of unknown make, but very skilfully built and still working fine to this day (except with a new battery!). Easily a century old, I'm sure it could tell some stories!

Two small unopened mail packets have been lying around my house for a while. Finally I open them! Two old (1970's?) flashlights from the former Soviet Union.

In this video I show how to forage for wild Hazelnuts, Beechnuts and Sweet Chestnuts, and how you can roast them to make them into super yummy snacks. All three of these nuts (especially the Hazelnuts) can be found all over the UK, most of Europe, and much of North America. In Wales (where I live), Hazel trees (or bushes) are literally everywhere in hedgerows, growing in fields, woodlands, wast...

Quite an old video of me blasting a boulder using Gun powder. The video looks like I barely got away in time, that's not actually true, there was plenty of time between me leaving the frame and it blowing up, I just removed those frames to make the video shorter.
