Machynlleth: A Miss HubNut Guided Tour

[@martinburgess4814]

Brilliant video, Miss hub nut

[@persevere777]

Wishing you the best in health and a fast return Miss Hubnut👍😃👍

[@russellb1212]

Your passion for the area shows, thank you, always enjoyable

[@jjaaajlex3076]

Wonderful! I've looked for Machynlleth videos a number of times but missed this one until now. Worth the wait : )

[@PurityVendetta]

Congrats Miss Hubnut, another fab video. You should be paid by the Welsh Tourist Board for presenting North Wales in such an beautiful light. I spent lots of my younger years riding motorbikes in the area around Llangollen where some of my friends lived. One of my friend's mum owned Lloyd George's 'Log Cabin' on the outskirts of Betws-y-coed. We all camped in the grounds and parked our bikes on the tennis court 😁. North Wales will always have a special place in my heart 💖

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Miss Hubnut you most definitely had me at Mach Loop, something I happen to be a big fan of....🙂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brilliant video again. You missed off Hennighan's Top Shop. Best chippy I've ever been to. I live in Coventry but my dad lived in Tywyn. Used to go to that chippy after a round of golf at Mach golf course. Unfortunately my dad passed away two years ago. I love that part of Wales, so beautiful.

[@CraigStephenson]

Dear Miss Hubnut. Your video is a joy to watch, thank you. They are a bit of calm in a mad world, Mr Hubnut thank you for filming and encouraging Miss Hubnut. Your professional content is the match of anything on the telly box!

[@rhys_thomss7013]

Hi miss hubnut I am so excited to watch the video

[@misshubnut]

Great, I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@philbartlett7898]

Fascinating video Miss Hubnut. Thanks very much for the efforts Our family moved to Upper Corris in 1971 and I had two years at Corris primary school, then went to Tywyn Secondary. Left school in 1978 and joined British Rail at Machynlleth, my fsather working as a postman based at Machynlleth, as well as my sister working in a clothing factory there for a while. Very sad that the marvelous Welsh tradition of milk bars is over, because Machynleth always had a great atmosphere and great food.

[@itsmephil2255]

16 mins and 46 seconds of total awesomeness Thanks M.H. for another amazing video

[@fhwolthuis]

Very interesting video, Carly 👍 Love your outfit

[@micheltebraake7915]

Thanks for this mini vacation.

[@alan-sk7ky]

That bridge, with the main drag traffic doing a 90 degree turn, hooray!

[@trevorparker6803]

Thank you Carly for yet another excellent travelogue. Always enjoy these.

[@misshubnut]

Very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@frimleyfrodo]

I used to work for Powys County Council and my patch therefore included Machynlleth in the north and Ystradgynlais in the south. It used to take at least two and a half hours to get from one end of the county to the other. A couple of short stretches of dual carriageway and the rest were twisty A and B roads. Summer meant being delayed by dawdling tourists and winter by often terrible weather!

[@hedydd2]

Powys is massive by UK standards. The North/South transport link through Wales is terrible, even up the A487 West coast, but through the middle and East it is atrocious. It is faster to drive from London to Rhyl than from New Quay to Rhyl, although the roads, inefficient as they may be, are at least a bit more interesting than the M6. But when you want to just get from A to B, it can be a bit of a challenge. For those that are unfamiliar with the geography, Machynlleth is not far from the West coast about 20 miles North of Aberystwyth and on the main coast road route, while Ystradgynlais is just North of Swansea in the South. Just a few miles up from the M4

[@bondbug73]

Another super enjoyable video Miss HubNut about Machynlleth. Looking forward to your next video and teaching us English folk how to pronounce Welsh correctly. As a Bradfordian. I could live off Indian starters and mint sauce 😋.

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Love these tours. I desperately wish to live in Wales. Hello from Australia.

[@adamweston4152]

As a Welshman I have to say that it's great to see miss hubnut showing us about Welsh history and the places connected to it,thank you miss hubnut for making these videos, their much appreciated,owain glyndwr tricked his way into COITY castle which is in the village I live in!. ❤️👍

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly video, I learnt a great deal and imagine on a spring or summers day it's a lovely place to visit especially the market.

[@andrewentwistle515]

Well after a long break away, Miss Hubnut returns to You Tube with another one of her great tourist videos.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Another great video Miss Hubnut, making me hungry with the samosas. Guessing this is also where the Mach Run came about?

[@meilewis1863]

Last Sunday in September. ..👍👍👍

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

I never expected Ian to be spice-shy, you learn something new everyday! please continue to educate his palate.

[@terrycrick3600]

I do find your presentation much more interesting and enthusiastic than many a so called star of T.V, long may you continue to bring us these gems! all the best, Terry.

[@davidmg1925]

check

[@philbartlett7898]

Agree Terry. She brings an honest and fresh approach to documentaries

[@johnd8892]

At 1:37 got my request on railway station pronunciation from a while back. Worth looping.

[@jmurray01]

Excellent tour as always! You are a natural in front of the camera.

[@gazzertrn]

Love Miss Hubnut vids , really informative . Makes me want too visit wales (and i live close too the border),see some of these places for myself . Been a few times too Wales but only parts of the south .So when the weather gets warmer , i shall be exploring this fine country .Thanks again miss Hubnut .Mr Hubnut i think you could have a rival youtuber here ,really good in front of the camera ,which can be quite daunting for some .

[@niceviewoverthere4463]

Enjoyed that - thankyou. You're really good at this. I spent seven years in north Wales ending up with a BSc and PhD but I reckon you've taught me more about Wales than I learned there. Greetings from Tasmania. Still love that place. Always so fresh albeit a tad damp :)

[@rexgeorg7324]

nice Mach yn llaeth ..WoW!! Britain actually produce its own cars Amazing days

[@tonyfield6399]

very enjoyable guys, you must visit my home town of Knighton, the hub of the Offas Dyke path, see you soon xx

[@stevehallam0850]

Another fascinating tour from Miss Hubnut. Ian is wrong about the train, it does not go through Llanfair PG - that is the line to Holyhead. Still well worth the scenic ride to Pwllheli!

[@misshubnut]

I think he just wanted me to say it!

[@huwdavies6650]

The only way it would be possible along that line, would be to change at Minffordd onto the Ffestiniog, take a train to Blaenau then change for a train to Llandudno Junction and finally pick up a Holyhead train from there.

[@colinp2238]

@@misshubnut By the time you had asked for a ticket the train would have gone.

[@EmyrDerfel]

@@huwdavies6650 There's always the idea floating round of reconnecting at Porthmadog, using what is now the Welsh Highland Railway, but since the WHR is now part of the Ffestiniog Railway organisation, I suspect this is even less likely.

[@trueg66]

What funny sounds are there in Welsh, the CH sounds like clearing your throat just like the G pronunciation in Dutch :)

[@JamesG75]

Another excellent video. I've had to start watching them around my meal times though otherwise I always end up feeling hungry afterwards!

[@craigsouthwell]

Another fabulous video Miss H. Great to see you back.

[@tommyhanlon8012]

Excellent 😊

[@paulbennell3313]

Superb as usual. When you can have a good day out in spite of cruddy weather, you chose the right place to go to.

[@mtozzy11]

Lovely town. Always love your tours. Keep up the good work.

[@misshubnut]

Thank you, I love doing these videos!

[@mtozzy11]

@@misshubnut I really like them, the history of the towns and how they came to be and the people behind them. And as an Aussie I get to see bits of Wales that I'd never see on a tour of the UK all from the comfort of my lounge room in Australia.

[@misshubnut]

@@mtozzy11 Glad it's giving you an insight into our lovely part of the world

[@AB-ku4my]

You didn't mention the raised footway under the railway bridge, which often caught out drivers during flood season.

[@Rjhs001]

Well, Miss Hub Nut, you presentational style is really progressing. Much more chatty and conversational than your first vids. Lovely.

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

Another excellent video thank you.I always look forward to your tours.

[@alanfaultless]

Many a happy holiday in Machynlleth as a child. My grandparents had a caravan on the Garth caravan park.

[@williamtether6462]

I feel a bit bad that it’s taken me this long to get around to watching your video but I’m go glad I have. Always a joy to see a video from you Miss Hubnut. Thank you for such a wonderful and informative video.

[@steveelkins52]

Life doesn't get better than a decent snack in Ellie. You guys are living the dream

[@tristanpage6805]

Really enjoyed that. Keep up the great work.

[@HscehIrve]

Have done the rail trip Porthmadog to Aberystwyth. Marvellous journey. 🎉😂❤

[@poonmig]

Wow, what an interesting video. Thank you so much for this, I find all your content very enjoyable, and would otherwise never know of these historic places.

[@seanp3113]

Very enjoyable learning more about a town I have been to many times but not spent much time in. I used to visit the Rover dealership when I worked for Unipart in the early 2000s 😊

[@paulburger8710]

Another great video. The Indian food was a nice surprise! Yum! Toronto has probably the best and largest variety of samosas I've had in North America.

[@mopedlife8691]

A pleasure to see you back Miss Hubnut on another wonderfully informative video. All the best to yourself and lovely Family.

[@paulwatts2192]

Love the video, now feel hungry.

[@I-T-S-M-E]

Watching you both chomping the bahji and samosas is making me hungry!!! Really enjoying your tours miss Hubnut😁

[@tony-yp6qk]

Thanks for another great and educational video as always miss hubnut Ian and hublets and hubmutts

[@tridaks]

Always clear and well presented, Miss Hubnut :-)

[@EmyrDerfel]

I remember a school trip to Celtica which must have been in its first few years, since I moved down south in 1998.

[@philwebb6464]

You are correct that was a C130 Hercules

[@philwebb6464]

Also forgot to say love wales we go a lot and your videos are a great addition to places we’ve been to an offer reason to go back.

[@mel20004]

Need to visit there and not just drive through!! Many thanks

[@alanwilkinson4080]

My grandparents ran the Red Lion in the 1960s - so I spent large swathes of time in the town. I remember going to the cinema that was behind the hotel - and I recall it was run by a gentleman called Arthur. They, or rather he - as it was very much a one-man-band, used to show double features - it was amazing. I also used to tag along with Gordon who was the town's streetsweeper ; I adored this gentleman - and have some recollections of him having a cup of tea in certain ladies' househiolds, but telling me it was time for me to go home - in retrospect, defintely nefarious! Thank you for the sweet video!

[@jmevans2727]

I think his name was Arthur Prince maybe, he was the projectionist and then some ladies ran the kiosk and one was the usherette! Yes, Gordon was the street cleaner, a broom and a green bin on wheels with two lids!!! 🤣, if I recall correctly, I'm not sure of his surname as we used to know him as Gordon Arker or Harker maybe, don't know if this was a surname or possibly a nickname!!

[@alanwilkinson4080]

Thanks so much for the information. Yes! It was Arthur. I never knew the family names - but spent much time with them as a 7-8 year old. The town was a quiet but lovely place. I would share that some freaky things happened in the Red Lion - I don't believe in ghosts, but I witnessed some unsettling things there. Best wishes from Hangzhou! @@jmevans2727

[@alanwilkinson4080]

By any chance, did you ever hear of any oddities seen in the red lion? As a child I spent much time in and around the hotel, and saw a couple of freaky things.

Brilliant stuff again Miss HubNut - thank you. I've driven through Machynlleth many times but been put off stopping by all the traffic. I'll know it's worth stopping for a proper look next time.

Once again. A fantastic video! tour of Machynlleth ! To mention the impromptu flyby!! The Airbus A400M "Atlas" does have a very distinctive drone from its four turbo prop engines. From what I saw it defo looked like a C-130! I experience both on a regularly basis living down the road from Lyneham, Wilts!!

Such an amazing and interesting video. The nature of Wales is very similar to ours (I live in Russia) but our old architecture is mostly destroyed by wars and neglection.

[@monodimensionalbeing]

In what what ways is it similar? I'm curious of Russia, (just booked trip to Machynelleth (: ) - goodluck

It's all lovely looking around Wales....unfortunately I drive an old Jaguar and it'd probably rust away after two days sightseeing🤔 mind you I could sell the tyres for my fare home....I'll consider it 👍

It is really lovely.. But not the best friend of cars!

[@misshubnut]

Lovely roads though that said

[@royjacques5650]

Hi carly i love watching your videos and your sense of humour. It's lovely hearing you speaking your native Welsh language i have a good friend here in Copenhagen denmark who comes from Cardiff but can't talk much Welsh as it was not taught in his school in the 1960s which think is a shame, by the way i think you looked very smart in your red and black outfit very attractive lucky ian keep well aĺl looking forward to the next video roy 🥰🥰🥰

[@DrDSCT]

Great videos. Always look forward to the next one. Very informative and interesting as I don’t know much about Wales. Especially good when you do a review of a local eating establishment. Bring on the next vid!!! Cheers.

[@StuartAxe]

Hello Miss Hub Nut. Very informative video of an area I know absolutely nothing about. It's great to see places in the UK with respect, not many out of the local area have heard of. It's great to learn! Thanks for posting!

[@hedydd2]

Machynlleth is a funny place. Full of Gogs [People with Northern Welsh accents and dialect] who call an ebol [foal in English] a ‘ciw’ [which is actually a chick] and everyone is referred to as ‘tâd’ [father, as in “odw tâd” which is ‘yes father’] for some obscure reason.

[@leeallen7585]

[@annewhistleketle6350]

Thanks again for your great tour of wales. Funny because i a am Dutch, some of the words do seem related, especially the Gggh pronunciation.

[@tomwinch9107]

Excellent video (I know I'm late to the party ... I have no excuse save time to watch!) It was easy to tell the Welsh train guards from the English train guards on the Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth train (which I think went to Birmingham New Street, I joined at Shrewsbury from Manchester Piccadilly, probably changing at Crewe too, it was 30 years ago so I can't recall!) One English guard opted for 'Mac' after trying a few times (back in the days the list of destinations was read out by the guard rather than a recording). From memory the train split but both halves stopped at Dovey Junction (a station that really is in the middle of nowhere!) and occasionally someone sheepishly changed trains ... As the line was single track the train waited at Borth so the train from Aberystwyth could pass the train to Aberystwyth ... In daylight it is well worth a ride

[@jsp21c]

Thanks for this excellent video, hope to visit Machynelleth next Spring.

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

I always thought that 'Yakky Da' was a spoof saying! Like the English apparently always say 'I say!', and the Scots 'Hoots Mon!' So I attacked Google translate and found that 'IECHYD DA' is supposedly the correct spelling! Anyway, good spot on the Laura Austin, Ashley/Rover stuff! :-) Perhaps we can persuade them to come up with Miss HubNut On Tour t-shirts or hoodies! :-) Good video though Carly, thank you! :-)
