Yes, as someone else said the ice rink is now in the castle, you rode past it when you went past the main gate into the castle. They have an ice Walk in there too I think.
I think the toy store that you said about near the ice rink was toys r us,just behind where John Lewis is now and the record shop was spillers,that is now in the arcade just past Tk Maxx. I saw your video on Barry Island of the filming of Gavin and Stacey,you got some great shots of them and even a wave off Stacey and when you looked through that wall it was funny to see James Cordon sat there .Interesting video ,thanks for sharing it.
Last time i went on a visit from the Midlands was in 1971 train spotting to Cardiff Canton engine shed good weekend! Also visited Landore, Seven tunnel junc, plus Newport nice weekend.
Hi Steve awesome vlog as always mate. This year has flown by but definitely popping to the wonderland with kids at some point in December though 😂. It was fab meeting you in the summer, I was so happy but in shock I think 😂. Thanks mate 👍🏻 Mike Cardiff
Thanks for this I usually go to the Winter Wonderland but didn't make it this year due to illness, so was nice to take a peek. I'm really craving one of those bikes now, especially since seeing how easy it was for you to zip about when they were filming G&S it looked a breeze! 😄
Citroen HA van conversion MrD...... Cardiff looks a banging place Not looking forward to Christmas personally, not the same when you are older Excellent vlog though

be careful of that electric bike you’re only allowed at 250 W and you’re only allowed to go 15 mph make sure they don’t catch you on that bike because they will take it off you brilliant video it’s amazing. I would love to see more stuff like this
Good to see you check out Cardiff WW build up were in London there building up WW at Hyde Park thats opens on 21st November 2024 to Sunday 5th January 2025 Steve 👍

I can't believe how much Cardiff has changed, probably been about 10-15 years since I've been out there.
It's insane quickly it's all changed mate 👌
Weldone guys Don't get lost or squashed keep up the good work Mr d 👍 👏

Thanks for the info mate, I prefer the look of Henry's from what I could see 😀👌🏴☠️
Same make but has platforms both sides. (I operate it)
@TheDudgies You would say that because you are biased😂😂😂.

Thanks mate, Christmas will soon be on us 🎅👌
If those buildings are apartments, you needn’t guess who’ll they be for 😂 this brings back memories when I use to live in. Cardiff 👍👍👍
When was the last time you visited Taff Mate? 👋😃
@ 8 years ago. I was from Barry and my cousins live on the island. I now live in the Philippines. This is why I subscribe to your channel. Bring back old memories😂.
It’s funny, you take it for granted what a town is like, until you move away 👍👍
Mr D the ice rink is in the castle now and has been for a few years now..
Aww right thanks for the info, I said I hadn't been for years 🤣👌
All that traffic congregation is caused by those bike lanes.. hardly used !!😢
Not sure if that's the cause of the problem, I drove for Cardiff Bus in the late 90s & it actually seemed worse back then without bike lanes? 🤔
@TheDudgies
That's hard to understand with the increased uptake of more and bigger cars, Steve.
Omg steve u went beyond barry island...lol❤
😂👌
Great vlog mate. How's Mrs D not on the vlogs nowadays.
Thanks mate, yeah she's good just doing her own thing 😎👌
Only 4 December in 2024 Winter wonderland looks
Theres millions of Geoffreys all under roof its called toys r us lol 😆 😂 🤣
Hahaha how could I not remember that 🦒 🤣👌
German sausage £5. Rip off. Welcome to Kardiff
Wow, OK that isn't cheap for sure 😂👌
@@TheDudgies Correction, £7 now, just past it.
I will be going to the bank tomorrow to get a loan so i can take my family to Winter Wonderland. With 3 kids its pretty much impossible for me.
Yeah I remember it being a struggle when ours were young 😔
Toy’s R us
