Hi Paul, another great video for the subscribers who may be interested in geology as well as railway construction. When we visited the TynyGraig tunnel (with permission) some years ago the refuges shown in your video at 4.27 (with the brick arches) frame an anticlinal fold of sandstone layers that the tunnel builders exposed during construction. Thanks for another interesting production, Brian.

[@pwhitewick]

Wow, thank you. Can you elaborate a tad more? Was this a requirement to build the arches in the way they did, owing to that geology?

[@Wulfbear99]

@@pwhitewick Hi again Paul, if you do a search on the tunnel some references are made to it being a RIGS (Regionally Important Geodiversity Site) this protects it from further development and a short description by W. R. Fitches of the geology explains in more detail its features. Hard to imagine but these rocks were once part of the sea floor! A tunnel refuge would normally be a recess in the rock face for a person (Ganger) to retreat to if a train came through while they were walking the line, some were brick lined but not so often in the shorter tunnels, your other videos show the different types of refuge over the country. The Tynygraig tunnel features have been framed with bricks by the tunnel builders/designers to show the rock fold.

In the 1980s i was a student at lampeter and involved with the Gwili railway. As a consequence, i ended up walking the entire route from Carmarthen - aberystwyth plus the branches and tried tracing the route north from Strata Florida (the unbuilt bit). There were fewer gardens to climb through then, but still some.... All of the tunnels were accessible and I've managed to walk through them all. Nice to see how it's changed.

[@jennyblake2251]

I grew up at the other end of the tunnel in Tynygriag - the end you emerged at. As soon as I was old enough to be out of my parents sight I spent all my spare time traipsing round the village and frequented the tunnel often- it felt like my own private world. To the left is a steep bank that I would scramble up and down and I had my own route to climb out at the other end without going through the garden. Last time I tried to take that route my little path was all but non existence. I have to say you did the tunnel wrong. It is best experienced without torches, hearing the sounds and feeling the cool dampness and the smells. Then, my favourite part, emerging at the end you did into a magical abandoned world. You say it looks like it has been done up recently but I can tell you that is had not been touched in all the time I've known it- so 35 years. And I doubt at any time in the near past to that as the undergrowth around it was well established.

[@jennyblake2251]

[@Deebz270]

The latter half of my childhood was spent, extensively exploring the old raiway system of Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro - then under the wider Tri-county border of Dyfed). I found the old trackbeds ideal in traversing vast swathes of the Welsh countryside, from Newport (Trefdraeth - 'Town on the beach') (on the Cardiganshire border) to the mainline running to Haverfordwest and on to Fishguard (Abergwaun - 'Mouth of the river Gwaun'). In fact, one such line ran from Newport to Clunderwen (prounounced - Klin'derrwin) (on the mainline), right across the Preseli range. Numerous tunnels and extremely overgrown cuttings everywhere. . BTW - My school was - Ysgol-y-Preseli, (The Preseli School) Crymych, which was not far from this branch line to Newcastle Emlyn, explored in this video. . Love your work guys. . Regarding the Cymraeg word 'Cefn' (Back, or rear, or reverse), the pronounciation in Welsh (Cymraeg) is said with an almost silent 'f'... So more sounding like 'Kewn', than 'Kevin'. I used to live just south of the village of Maenclochog (where we later moved to...), at a tiny hamlet called 'Llanycefn' - Llan is Cymraeg for 'church'. And Maenclochog is - 'The village of the ringing stone' - the latter of which was actually just across the road from where we lived. I never heard the stone ring, but it did have a stunning well upwelling from beneath the large granite 'glacial erratic' boulder.

I live in the area and walked through Pencader tunnel south to north in 1998. In those days there were no walls or padlocked gates. However, English incomers started having parties in the tunnel and even abseiled down the ventilation towers by trespassing on local farmers' land and damaged the structure. The shafts have since been sealed off as have the entrances either end. Farmers who own the land nearby have keys but only give them to locals.

I visited Pencader Tunnel for the first time twenty years ago to this day, and was heartily traumatized by the experience (sunk up to my knees in soft mud at the entrance) - I've returned a few times since then and walked through it end-to-end - an amazing bit of engineering. You guys did a brilliant job photographing it and the other tunnels on the old Carmarthen & Cardigan and Manchester & Milford lines. There is actually a horizontal adit on the surface that is believed to have connected with the north-eastern ventilation shaft - I've seen the entrance to this with my own eyes but it's impossible to penetrate far inside due to it having collapsed. As a suggestion, have you considered visited the Manchester and Milford Railway's unfinished tunnel at Cefn Myherin? This was located on the aborted 15-mile section that would have carried the railway across the Cambrian Mountains to Llangurig, and would have been among the highest railway tunnels in the UK, in terms of altitude. Contractors begin digging the approach cuttings at both ends before the project was abandoned, and they can indeed be seen marked as 'Old Quarry' on the old OS maps held by the National Library of Scotland.
