Hi Mark. Another cheery, well-made video. Always enjoy them and this was no exception. Best D

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers David, glad you liked it 😊

[@Shane85Furey]

I've found a mega bus journey for you Manchester number 8 bus to Bolton from Bolton to Preston 125 bus and Preston to Blackpool 68 bus £2 singles I am doing it on Saturday

[@steve-marsh]

A bonus video, what a great surprise, cheers! Love the wee balcony at either end of the carriage, another place on the list for our trip to Wales this summer :)

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Yes mate, you should try it. Nice walk for you both afterwards as well, all the way over to Borth and back to Aber on the train?

[@johnmullin1188]

Has abaryswoth got a pier how did you get to this destination m8 all the best John 😊

[@williamsdaf]

I think your video politely confirmed that there's nothing up there or at least nothing that's open.

[@lukehoneythunder]

I really enjoyed your video, thank you. PS, for anyone interested here is the funicular railway at Saltburn by the sea on the N Yorkshire coast. This one is powered same as it was when it was built by water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoeVgJR_e5KjlbM

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Luke and I’ll check the link out. Thanks 👍

[@lukehoneythunder]

@@LetsMakeaTrip thank you very much my friend, as it happens I am sat here watching the video of you flying upper class with Virgin from NYC to London. I'm only 2 minutes in and will leave a comment when it is finished. 🙂

[@cryzcryz2345]

Oh wow! Amazing! I love it!

[@keithwhite1478]

All looked a bit desolate. When I went some years ago it was very busy and had to queue to get into the Camera Obscura. It was great and you could see for many miles via a lens and mirror which you could rotate. Nice vid. Thamks

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Keith, I seem to remember going years ago and was fascinated by the camera obscura. It's changed a bit since then but still some great views even with the naked eye. Not sure about frisbee golf though - seems a bit of an odd location really!

[@flyingmyles]

Great video as always! Always nice to see a cliff railway

[@seancoleman8528]

Looks good that might do it myself now as never done north wales

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Sean. Plenty of stuff to do in a North Wales, start here and move up the coast on the train. Enjoy.

[@GAZ77780]

How long do you get at the top

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

As long as you want Gareth

[@telemachus53]

You should've walked down, the views and different angles are great and the downward path is beautiful, winding round the hillside. It includes the bridge you pointed out to us on the way up.

[@briocheoleary5043]

This is probably my favourite channel atm. V relaxing and laid back. Mark makes anything enjoyable to watch. I expect he could even make a trip to Milton Keynes interesting! Keep up the gud work.. 🤟

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Milton Keynes 🤔🤔🤔 no plans atm but you never know! Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words 😊

[@Andrewjg_89]

I have been to Wales couple times but not to Aberystwyth.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Aber’s fine but there are better places imo.

[@Andrewjg_89]

So true. 👍

[@paulparry1197]

Thanks for the trip, I always enjoy them. 👍

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers for the comment Paul. Appreciated mate 😊👍

[@peterskegness3204]

Another great video. I do like a Funicular. Opened on 1st August 1882 and second longest in UK. Unfortunately didn't get a trip on it when I travelled that way years ago as it took most of day just to travel by rail from Nottingham to Aberystwyth. Stayed overnight, then continued by rail from Aberystwyth to Pwhelli. Doubled back to ride over the Ffestiniog. Great trip in Observation Car marred only by most of trip being in thick fog 😂 Then continued from Blaenau to Llandudno in standard guage.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Oh the observation car is fantastic isn’t it! You can do a ‘round Robin’ ticket from Shrewsbury to Mach then up to the Ffestiniog, Llandudno Junction, Chester and back to Shrews. Proper day out that and it was about £40 last time I did it. The Aber Cliff Railway they like to say they’re the longest (electric) funicular in the UK as they got rid of the water balance system a few years back now!! 😂

[@johncarr712]

Lovely bonus video Mark. I remember this was there when I lasted visited Aberystwyth as a student. Got to be nearly 20 yrs ago now. Must do it again with my family this time. Great views and goos weather with a couple of things to do up there.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers John, I bet it’s not changed too much. Uni’s still there at the top of the big hill. Walked up there a few times!

[@marianshattock2732]

I went on that railway about 75 years ago, 😂, yes I am on the ancient side. I love your trips. I have looked to see where I could pick up National Express etc, unfortunately nowhere near enough to be convenient. Never mind, I can watch you instead!

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Thanks Marian, appreciate the support and you’re never too old!

[@MrWelshJoe]

The carriage you travelled in was the Lord Marks before being repainted a few years ago. It used to be painted red and the Lord Geraint on the opposite track was painted yellow

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Ah I see! Thanks Joe 😊👍

[@Zuuu40]

Another awesome video i love your videos please keep them coming

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers mate, just an extra little one for midweek 😊

[@newpersonatuni]

I can't get enough of these cliff railways. The only one that has alluded me so far is BRIDGNORTH which has been closed for an eternity

[@EmilyPoyser-w7m]

Bridgnorth cliff railway is alive and kicking and back open since May this year

[@newpersonatuni]

@@EmilyPoyser-w7m ah yeah I went on opening day was epic! Loved it

[@MrCobo04]

Went the last mouth. Great time

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Yep and if you get the weather it’s lovely at the top really 👍

[@andythompson7450]

Went up there with my first girlfriend. Took a picture of her and in the background they are literally mid build on the camera obscurer ! Guarantee that was built in 1984 / 1985 as there was literally nothing else up there. My other claim to fame is that my brother decided it would be a good idea to climb up the cliff face of it. This ended up requiring support from the air rescue and my mum hearing about it on the local news. Heady days.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Haha, I can imagine him doing that and your mum when she heard! Probably around the time I last went up it too. Cheers mate 😊

[@simonwhitlock9189]

Magnificent views, I did the Lynton-Lynmouth cliff rail many years ago and loved it, thank you and wishing you well,cheers.

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Simon, I did that some years back now - lovely down there. Also did the Scarborough one when I went over on the 840 the other week. Quite enjoy them really.

[@sheilam4525]

This looked brilliant, I love quirky things like this and hope they never die away! Incredible views too👍

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Thanks Sheila, I definitely got lucky with the weather (again).

[@RogEdwardsTV]

What a lovely spot! Added to my bucket list. 😀

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Roger, it is especially nice when you get the weather. I think I got lucky with that (again)!

[@aiden3170]

My bucket list grows larger by the day😂

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Haha, cheers Aiden 😊

[@PaulGodfrey]

Great memories of my trains of Wales holiday

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@luisstransport]

Great video Mark

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Thanks Luis 😊👍

[@tsr207]

Excellent video Mark - Been to the Isle of Man camera obscura - as a boy in the 1960s -having never seen colour tv - I thought the images projected were incredible !

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Yep, I do wonder whether they were ‘of their time’ so to speak. I did see one once too - might have been this one and remember thinking it was pretty cool 👍

[@enricomonti156]

Great video Mark. I have a friend who has studied in Aberystwyth but still I have never ever went to Wales. This one is a proper old school funicular. I would recommend you to ride the funicular between Como amd Brunate, which is by far the best one I tried, and besides, it allows you to get amazing views of Lake Como

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

I’d like to do that if I’m there again. Do like Lake Como, lovely area 😊👍

[@gingerseanie]

Been smashing the hell out of your videos mate wicked content ! Stay cool

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Cheers Sean, I certainly appreciate the support mate 😊👍
