I have rheumatoid arthritis and can no longer walk around the block, never mind venturing to places like this. Hiking and being out there is something I greatly miss. Thank you so much for bringing me along! I love Sundays because of this channel!

I'm like you I have knee braces and issues with my hip all started from 149 ft of flight when a truck pulled out in front of me in 95. I was trying to throw it on the ground and my passenger had other thoughts. I can't ride my bicycle with out issues

There are advantages to being small. When I was exploring mines I was most always the first one into tight spots. Those are some impressive spoil heaps. And an amazing hand stacked ore bin. The only mortar & pestle I have seen like those were made by Native American for grinding acorns into flour.

This is the best U.K. mine exploring channel on KZbin! I’m in Cwmtawe which is filled with closed/abandoned small mines. I’ve been up to Cwmystwyth, Dolaucothi, Dylife, Bryntail and Llechwedd, etc by motorcycle but not inside, as I have no climbing or underground experience but would like to learn. It’s good to hear how knowledgeable you are and adding in the geology and history too. Which valley is this? Keep up the good work. Diolch yn fawr.

As ever, very impressive. This is somewhat reminiscent of Leadhills and Wanlockhead in the South of Scotland where they have a museum of lead mining, they also do gold panning. Thank you for taking us to these places, I have always been very impressed with how much is left in mid Wales, there really is a lot to see. Thank you for all the work you do in preserving these things and recording them for posterity.

Nice mine. I'd go into a mine if the floor was dry but I always find there's something that spooks me about the idea of going walking in mines that have water in them. There's a drift up on the minders track of snowdon near the top of the scree slope that I've always wanted to explore but was put off by the water on the floor of the drift and the fact that my torches never seemed to light up the inside of it as I walked a short way in (I guess it would light it up but I never gave my eyes time to adjust from the brightness outside of it).

The mortar and pestle ore grinding remined me of the original method of grinding coffee in the middle east and in Africa using the same method. It would have taken ages and the coffee would be semi stale at the end!

Brilliant episode, I have been into Brittania copper mine on Snowdon and the entrance was so tight you had to walk on the cheeks of your arse, you could only fit one arm down beside your body with the other above your head and take your helmet off as well as it did not fit whilst wearing it, I have to say it was well worth it to see the 18" gauge tramway inside with an ore wagon, there was some very dodgy suspended floors which were not for the feint hearted, makes me wonder how I survived doing it for 20 years now I look back.

@britannia-foundry 3 жыл бұрын
The waterwheel was the favoured choice for most mines as they required less of a head so the same water source could be re-used many mines in the same valley, in North Wales my short valley had at least 4 waterwheels used by one mine, one woolen mill and two domestic properties, the only Pelton wheel here I know of was for a domestic property.

I don’t know about Wales in the Lake District is it stops walking on an area that had covered shafts. The shafts could have been sealed over with boards that have rotted over the years. Allowing people to just fall into a shaft.

The council got grant money a number of years ago and fenced off all the openings across the hillside, both open stopes and open levels to prevent access. These lasted for a while. These days the lease holder of the mine from the crown estates allows access underground for exploration, so the grills over the level entrances have been reopened again.
