As someone who lost their annual trip to Blaenau due to the issues that arose in 2020, I've been greatly enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting all of these excellent walks and taking us all with you.

Seems a very atmospheric and fairly quiet little town (although it was a Sunday?). It is on my list of possible places to retire to! I would like an old cottage with some original features still intact.

What a total mess they "the owners" left the mountains in? it's a pity the govt could not extract some money from the families now?

[@mariocardabollo3631]

So sad, not a single apple tree or cherry tree or lettuces, lemons, onions, tomatoes, beans growing there.

[@getnyrb]
