Manway Madness at Diffwys

I was late getting out this afternoon so my options were limited, but glad I made the right decision as I found something you don't find too often down a mine.!! Lomo we're kind enough to give me a lantern to try out so I gave it a go underground. Totally different to a torch, but extremely good light. Thanks Rob & Lomo 🔦👌😊

Enjoying the videos, working my way through your previous ones too since discovering the channel last week. Hoping to make the trip from Sir Fon over to Blaenau in the next few weeks to take in some above and below ground scenery.

Hi Chris, man you get me every time when you shout bang 😂 the stupid thing is though is that I'm waiting for you to say it. Beautiful scenery there, I love Wales as it has so much history. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

Another great video. Short and sweet. Made me jump when you shouted BANG, my face was close to the screen looking at the sticks of Gelignite 🤣

That dynamite had a Welsh accent 😂

[@shonkytours2039]

😂😂. As the Rockmen used to say, "The rock speaks Welsh". Just to wind up the English mine managers🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Christopher you’re keeping me busy. 👍X 10

I especially went out to make sure you're busy watching more videos 👍😂

Get a charger for the car, you can top up torches and phones etc while driving, by the time you're back from sports direct you could have given everything a half charge. I thought Oakley closed 2010 due to stability issues? What are they reopening? Fingers crossed it's extraction and it'll bring jobs for people

[@shonkytours2039]

Yes they're trying out a new vein. Transporting the slate to Cwt-Y-Bugail and Penrhyn Mills, BUT if successful it might lead to Bwlch (Cwt-Y-Bugail new) closing 😭. Yes, got plenty of chargers, just didn't realise how drained my battery was until I got home 🙈

@@shonkytours2039 My roof :( has a persistent condensation and minor leak problem despite many minor repairs and vents, wondering how much a new roof might cost. Noticed that premium slates are branded Cwt-Y-Bugail and I was wondering on that, so the *mill* is C-Y-B not necessarily the extraction site? Not sure I can afford a new C-Y-B roof but it'd certainly look **** fantastic. Fingers crossed for the Euromillions numbers..
