Why on earth have I not spotted this video on you channel before!! I’m gonna have to give myself a good talking too. We are so lucky to call this place home mark. 👍👏👏

This gem still exists to this very day. Grateful.....

Absolutely fascinating video - well researched, well presented and very interesting! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I appreciated the attention to detail and was impressed with your editing. Far better than some of the rubbish on TV in my opinion. Thank you to you and the team for all your efforts. I’d love to see the next part, but understand why it may not happen.

Way too fast.

where did the watering hole go lol

Theres chaos, deprivation and poverty in the west country. More traffic jams and dekays than London .. low wages and high prices !

Is that Alan Partridge as the tour guide and bus driver?

If this video was originally uploaded with a better title I feel the views on this could’ve been in the millions

Your Geiger counters do not measure radon, which has been measured at up to 3 million Bq/m³. Breathing that in, most of the daughter products -charged particles of alpha-emitting, polonium, lead and bismuth - will stick in your lungs emitting alpha particles for the next 20+ years. It is equivalent to smoking about 100,000 cigarettes in one hour!

England same as Russia or USA spying on us ??

Great info! I used to live in the house attached to the Skewjack station, before it was there & the remains of the Skewjack surfers holiday park chalets were still there. We used to wonder what went on in the Fujitsu building (now BT Lands end) just up the road

You guys still doing this? Can I play?

What an amazingly well-researched and informative video. Thanks for it!

Great content, cornwal is full radioactivity places

Do you want to come up to Gunnislake and run your Geiger counter over my minerals collection? I've even got lollingite from the only mine in Europe that was closed ( temporarily) by shipwreck , the sample also has a small amount of cobaltite. Ask Rob Lawrence , we know of each other.

The old men in some way knew , possibly by experience that some areas are not to be used for vegetables or animal husbandry. A good example is Dowgas, near Burngullow. It's etymological roots being Dowr & Gas, an imperative order to " leave the water alone" in ancient Cornish . You'll end up with five legged sheep or cancers if drinking the water of the tributary of the river Fal in St. Stephen in Brannel parish.

I'm sure this video is not legal particularly with Russian submarines found lurking in Atlantic waters off the west coast of Ireland some three years ago. They were phishing!!!!

Best beach in the world.

wow! such a detailed amount of information and research.

Cornwall is a country, not a county.

We still have slow broadband in Cornwall

This is absolutely insane, you should not have gone inside the adit itself, the internal radon dose you would have recieved is basically a guaranteed lung cancer dose and could have been well into the 20mSv range depending on time. Its just not worth it considering how little is left in the adit itself.

Electrosmog from I - Cabel , Atlantic to Europ.

Still epic🔥🔥🔥

um im sorry but this is wrong the branch was NOT a beching cut it closed to pasengers 2 years befor beching made his cuts

This is not dynamite, this is a firecracker

I lived in Four Lanes in the 70`s and saw the original UHF part of the Mast being installed by Venn Bros to bring Colour and BBC2 to Cornwall as at the time we only had BBC1 and ITV from Caradon Hill . They used the guy wires to lift equipment up to the top. If I remember correctly it took about two or three months to install due to weather conditions. There`s an old Four Lanes saying, `If you can see the Mast, its not raining? If you cant see it, its raining!`

The largest Mexican wave ever done in a training session? That's some boast. Was this ever officially confirmed? Great little time capsule this, by the way. Makes you yearn for 1999.

❤❤❤❤

Wow, what beautiful scenery. Brilliant video, Mark, and I love your choice of music. What an asset this is for the Helston railway. I hear that the granite viaduct is in excellent condition, even though it has been disused for 60 years!!

Anyone who finds this interesting should read "Line of Fire" by Andy McNab for a fictional take on the risks of photographing manhole covers in Cornwall :-) Its a great read!!

Where can I get some of these. I am working on a lo no budget film and need some of these

Menwith Hill is responsible for the interception for the UK data collection. It is UK owned and American rented, so they do all the data collection then pass it on to the UK. Sneaky buggers.

One of the greatest things ever created tbh.

Since this video was made both the Facebook Microsoft partnership (MS/FB) and Google have installed new cables landing in Bude. Grace hopper cable for Google in 2022 and AMITIE for MS/FB in 2023 both of which have twice the capacity of the MS/FB New Jersey to Bilbao cable mentioned near the end of the video.

Well, that was a lot more interesting than it probably should have been.

Are any of these for sale ?

That was 25g of RDX hahhahaha

I’ve been there hundreds of times

Dynamite is TNT trinitrotoluine. Nitroglycerin is a by product that occurs when Dynamite sweats when stored improperly.

Very nice and well documented story. Thank you very much indeed for the share.

Exactly what I needed rn

Glad I found this - answered a lot of questions!

Pure joy.

I wonder how many passengers missed their trains because of this great flash mob 🤣😀🤣😀🤣😀🤣

Well I am a few years late to the party but I will say that this was an excellent bit of sleuthing and informed analysis. My resent trip to Prothcurno Museum to drop off some historical communications kit for their safe keeping, led me to 'nose' about. You however have provided some answers to questions I had not yet considered. As for GCHQ NSA etc etc, well so much is in the public domain but the significance is lost on many. The spying 'Epsilon' etc thats been going on for ages the interesting thing is that data passing over our soil is fare game. I have come across odd boxes in equipment rooms with no truthful description but the telephone number would be answered. I point you and your followers to YT ' ManchesterRIngway' kzbin.info/www/bejne/moW7lKWZdpd2qbc where Lewis explains the significance of the now demolished 'Capenhurst tower' which is just down the road form me. Sneaky but necessary. Well done Mark and remember the best place to hide something is in plain sight, Ice cream shops seem popular.

Progess is amazing thank you for uploading

A mine shaft collapsed a few years ago nere my house, there was nothing to say there was a mine shaft there. Juts grass on a football pitch!! I couldn't believe there was a 500-foot hole directly underneath the grass i play football on. Apparently that was "capped" but there was nothing on ground level indicating a shaft. Its like nobody knew it was there.

3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible 😂...
