  • I've been to this mine a few times, but not many actually know about it's hidden location. I tried taking Emily here a few weeks ago after visiting a different mine in the area and by the time we got here it was pitch black, so we turned back. I decided to come back in the daylight because it's a lovely obscure mine and I've not been to a manganese mine for a while 😊

    Hi Chris, a brilliant look at another old mine, you don't see that many Manganese mines on CZcams so it was nice to look at this one.
    How cool to see those old steps, I agree that nothing is made to last anymore, the miners certainly knew how to make things that would
    be strong and would last. I loved that old felt hat, so amazing to see it still mostly intact in such a harsh environment.
    Thank you for sharing, much love to you and Emily. xx 🥰

    Great mine explore, I've not been in. When I was 5 or so, I wanted to explore every hole in the ground. I did manage to talk my parents into looking into a couple of adits. At about 10 Mum took the family to look at the manganese mines behind Barmouth and I also got a look in the main adit of Gwynfydd. I'm not able to explore much now but have a total of more than 80, 000 hours underground, working, guiding and exploring and loved every minute. Keep up the good work but don't do videos at the expense of your relationship. God bless

      Ive known about the mines behind Barmouth, but have never visited them, only St David's gold mine a few miles from Barmouth in Bontddu.
      I definitely won't let videos get in the way of my relationship, just I'll have to produce a video every other week instead of weekly, or make 2 the weekend Emily works. 😊

    Another one for me to find. Found secret Gwaith Mango entrance fairly easy without instructions from anyone, only personal research, so got another little challenge 🤙

      Gwaith Mango is pretty straight forward, appart from the hidden entrance, but this mine is tough to find, I couldn't even find it myself in the dark and I'd been there loads 🙈😂

      Was used in steel production as well as paint, but I'm sure there's other uses as well 😊

    I don’t understand why every video I am getting sound only from the right channel. All other YT videos I am getting stereo. No one else mentions it so maybe it’s just me? 🤷‍♂️

      It's fine when I re watch video on my normal TV so the sounds definitely uploaded OK with the video 🤷🏼‍♀️

      I only get audio through my right earbud at the introduction and ending too, it has only happened in the last couple of videos, and only having 20% hearing out of my right ear i can hardly hear 🫣 😂 but anyway another fantastic video chris 👍
