  • First time back to this amazing picturesque mid Wales slate mine in ages with Northern Monkeys. This place is so dramatic with steep bottomless chambers

    Many years ago I saw miners working this mine and they told me of the very tall Chambers, but unfortunately would not take me in. You need to take a drone in there and explore some of the places you can't get. Great video again Chris. Thank you and God bless

      Yes I've taken drone there, but because only started flying it was a bit nervous about going inside the chambers incase I hit walls 🙆‍♂️

    If you climb the mountain to were the shafts break surface ,there are shallow adits which connect to the shafts ,there are double acting compressed air winches in there , its extremely dangerous in there very slippery , the shafts go to the bottom of the pits ,some 800ft.

      Yes I saw those winches last time I was there, got to go past the pack wall and squeeze through end of one adit. Didn't have enough time to go higher today beca we went to Gaewern later

    Another great video, another place I'd like to go and take a look in.
    For the record, I think the loco that the divers found is 'Taffy' that ran away and fell into the flooded chamber.

      @@shonkytours2039 nevertheless, even if it's in plain sight doesn't mean you can just enter etc.
      Footage inside the mine is not an issue . It's the advertising of entrances for mines that are sensitive in terms of access, potentially jeopardising for others or causing issues with land owners . Maybe a little bit more discretion on your videos with the entrances .
