Dinorwic still remains one of the most epic places we've been. Full of history and adventure, it really feels like it was a working mine

Just about to watch. Did you know, that in that very area, there is a hydroelectric power plant that goes five miles inside the mountain? (In fact, you were walking directly above it). They used to do bus tours inside, and it feels like you’re inside one those rumoured-to-exist deep underground military bases. It’s pretty remarkable feat of engineering.

Wow, what a fascinating exploration of Dinorwic Quarry! The sheer size and history of this abandoned Slate Quarry are truly awe-inspiring. Hay and Kyle did a fantastic job showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of this hiking location in Snowdonia/Eryri National Park. The breathtaking views of the mountains, the glimpse of the abandoned Anglesey Barracks, and the search for the hidden waterfall all added an element of adventure to the video. It's great to have the opportunity to experience the hike vicariously through their exploration. Thank you for taking us on this virtual journey and introducing us to these must-see spots in the mountain ghost town of Dinorwic Quarry.

My grandad was a quarry man there, picture of him on a bosun's chair in what looks like a suit, on the vertical face of the quarry (where he and the others were apparently setting charges to blow up the face) my mum and auntie played there as kids (against the rules at the time) during the time it was still in operation around the 1940's + 50's they lived in Deiniolen .

The drone footage, different angels and the music were all fantastic.
