Aberllyn Lead - Zinc Mine (Part 1)

[@Carolb66]

Another fab video Chris, stunning mine. You explore some of the best mines on you tube. I'm getting through em ! ❤😊👍

[@craigadam]

I really enjoy your videos, your mines are some of the best on KZbin, amazing. I know what you mean about feeling the need to put videos up, my wife has a channel and the commitment is a real feeling. I am Subscribed and check regularly, I don’t want to miss any of your videos. I would love to come over one day and join you on a walk through a mine like this. Definitely on my bucket list. Stay safe. 👍🏻

No worries Craig, I'm always enthusiastic about taking people down any of the mines, so just message me when you can make it to Wales 👌

brilliant explore Chris

Love your vids. Last time I was in Aberllyn was in 1977 and most of the folk on a group shot afterwards are now no longer with us, including my missus! But your stuff is very interesting indeed. There was a wooden type air receiver in there at the time which, from your vid seems to have now succumbed to father time. Your slate mine material is also excellent. I look forward to your Part 2 on Aberllyn. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed the videos as much as I enjoy making them 👍

Pretty good for a guy with a bad leg! Thanks!

Standing ovation, Christopher. I know you’re busy and getting well. Love your channel mate. Know that.

Thanks Joseph, I try my best to find time so I don't let all my subscribers down 😊

Hi Chris, it's so nice to see another video from you, thank you for taking the time to make this video, I hope your ankle and leg get better soon. Can you claim compensation from where you work ??? it definitely sounds like a health and safety failure. Please be careful, especially with nobody knowing where you are. I'm guessing you climbed the rope already but it really isn't worth the pain, I don't think there will be one viewer out there that would want you to hurt yourself going up it. A very cool explore of this extremely beautiful old Zinc mine, I really appreciate you not wanting to let us guys down, I would hate anything bad to happen to you. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

[@shonkytours2039]

Yes definitely a health and safety issue, they didn't even record incident in accident book 😤. I wish I could keep making videos every week, but until this job finishes in a month I'm limited to Saturdays only (and that includes everything else I need to do whilst home on weekend😩) even a couple weeks without producing video loses viewers. It's like you need to start again to grow channel

[@SueGirling68]

@@shonkytours2039 not good, isn't that against the law not to put it into the accident book ? Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I will always be on the channel and I'm sure your other followers will be too. xx

[@cynthiatyler1606]

No worries. I haven't forgot about you. Take care of yourself. Love your videos. Thanks for this one. I hope you get better soon.

[@shonkytours2039]

Thanks Cynthia, leaving a gap between videos seems to lose viewers and channel shrinks😭. It's really tough juggling time to produce videos weekly and working away when only having one day off. Hopefully we've got a few weeks where I can have Sundays off as well so I can produce more videos 😊

[@SuperNova-py1ec]

Fascinating video. I do worry if you injure yourself that no one will find you. Do you not tell anyone to contact emergency services if you do not return after a certain amount of hours. Going to watch part 2 later

[@karlsmith5069]

Brilliant vids mate ! Propper educational stuff. Did you notice the pattern on the wall at 38:37 ? I'm sure its purely coincidental but it looks remarkably like a hand print.

[@shonkytours2039]

Thanks Karl, it is a hand print, someone put their hand in ocre and printed it on wall

[@MarkBrockman1956]

I didn’t forget about you. Just wonder if you’re ok. 😊
