Cheers Mark.... I sometimes don't give local locations a better study but as things are atm I am grateful that I can do just that. Thanks for looking in and your comments are always welcome. atb Alan

@@thevalleywalker A pleasure Alan. Yeah, there are still some hidden gems locally. I've been in the same situation - we do what we can and often it's enjoyable. Have a great week ahead.

Ah Jamie, thanks buddy, so glad you enjoyed this - have to admit its one of my personal faves that I have recorded. Bob & I have actually recorded 2 other videos from here and are on the channel, have a look see how different it can be. I was 1st aware of the place dare I say about 25+ years ago but fr whatever reason I always put off coming here until a few years ago. I have a friend who used to invite me along and I never went - what a regreat but since final getting there I have been 3 times...lol. As many will tell you it can be pretty precarious getting to the falls and at my age now I won't go alone - no signal and the river can sometimes be uncrossable. I look forward to you visiting - I have seen many people taking a dip there.. I have promised my neighbour I will take him so he can swim there.... atb Al

@@thevalleywalker It's brilliant. I've never seen anything like that. If I get there and it's like that I will mention you in the description👍 Great video. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Wales👍

Hi Jamie, many thanks mate - glad you enjoyed it. I know the pain of writing comments and it disappearing 5 mins later.. pain in the proverbial for sure. I am hoping to get baxck there soon, I have a little info on the place... well, not much but at least I have a name - watch this space ;) atb Al

@thevalleywalker I'll keep my eye out for it 😁👍 My comments are okay today, tomorrow it will probably be off again🤦🏻😂 I'll jump on one of your old ones now. I loved it, thought it was incredible. I want to there in a few months👍

Evening Lee, many thanks for your comment - much appreciated. I am hoping to check out a new woodland 2mrw, autumn is here in a small way but I feel it might not be here for long. I was scraping ice off the car this morning. Did u manage to see the Aurora last night? atb Al

@@thevalleywalker sadly I did not been working late turn this week , typically ! Did you manage to see anything?

Morning Andy, sometimes I have walked the hills and saw mound that look to have been manmade and wonder - if I remember I try and find out when I get back or get the map out to see if anything is marked. You are right though, proably loads of things we won't get to see because of the land they are on. Have a good weekend fella, thanks for the watch & cmment, much appreciated. atb Al

Hi Nev, it was so strange to see the place and have that feeling of being there previously - on the previous visit it was a chance thing chasing mist. To gravitate to more or less the same compostion for a shot too 😊 atb Al

Morning Martin, still keeping it fairly local but with finds like this that ain't such a bad thing. I use the same research site also thanks Mart and I have actually found a little about this place but want to follow up with another video at somepoint. Have a great weekend buddy. atb Al

Hi Kev, frustrating that it appears on private ground although the 1st time I went there I actually bumped into the farmer enroute and we had a very decent chat - I ven helped move his sheep with him at the time (lol) so unless someone new owns the land I am hoping our next meeting might be as cordial as I have plans for a return. Hope you are well... iking the new project and saw you was signing up to the LDWA, I know a few members are they are a good bunch. atb Al

Thanks maste. I do know a little more about it but I am hoping to do a follow up video on it 😉

Cheers Tim... I sometimes wonder why I ravel to places in search f stuff that I can find on my own doorstep sometimes. :)

Morning Si, it is and hopefully a return visit when the autumn colours are in that spot I can return. I have some info on the place now so I want to do a follow up.I have a mate who has asked about metal dedecting the place too but as its private ground I don't want to chance getting caught. Not sure if you are here or in Canada atm but the UK had a blast of aurora last night and socal media is a blankert of reds, greens and purples today. :) atb Al

@@thevalleywalker Morning Al, i'm in Canada at the mo, so no aurora for me. I've never seen it, actually, but i'm not a night person anyway. That sounds really interesting about the follow-up on the location. I was reading that the Normans introduced the motte and bailey design when they invaded England and Wales. It was an easy way to build a fortified community with unskilled labour (local peasants). I find this stuff veery interesting. I hope you can make a follow-up video! Cheers 🙂

Morning Alan, it certainly didn't fit with the rest of the landscape and if I had shown drone footage - didnt take it - you could clearly see its in a prominent positon for a fortification back in ancient times. There is a similar one quite near that is not surrounded by trees which shows what this possibly looked like back then. atb Al

Morning Robin, hope your are well my friend - glad you found it interesting, I ceratinly did. atb Al

Thanks mate.

Morning Martin... that must be a 1st! I was wandering around as has been my habit the last few months. The earthworks is marked on the map and I was at the top of the woodland and whilst sat having a rest I opened my os map app to see where I was and noticed it so thought I would investigate. There was a fence surrounding it and obviously its on private ground but I took a chance and stepped over the small fence to have a look. When I wandered that way back in 2015 I actually met up with the farmer and he seemed pleasant enough - I had my camera and told him I was wandering about looking for misty shots... he semed fine. I have noticed since going back this year the path I took back then is marked private / keep out and marker posts direct you back into the reserve it might be new owners or perhaps someone peed him off - don't think it was me...lol atb Al

@@thevalleywalker will have to visit, 🤣

Very nice Alan lovely scenery and nicely captured. Good job buddy

@@AdrenalinePitStop Thanks buddy.. hope your well fella :)

@@thevalleywalker Yeah all good thanks Alan. Hope you’re doing well too

Good Morning Andy, thank you , glad you liked the pics. I suppose we have all the rain we have to thank for the greeness we enjoy around here although looking at some of the reservoirs atm its been a pretty dry summer - some are very low. Are you enjoying Dave's Cambrian Way vids? I look forward to you picking it back up. atb Al

Thanks Nev. You are quite welcome to nick it anytime my friend - just sent you a message on FB 😉

Thanks buddy, if you ever make it down to Wales on your journeys let me know - got a few places you might just like.

@@thevalleywalker yes definitely will Alan 🥰🙏👍🏻

You know me and trees sis, we got a thing 🥰 x

I saw rowmn berries back end of June and I thought they might have gone by now.. nope, on the edge of this copse was a tree abundant with them... couldn't get an image out if it sadly. Have you seen the little bridges they have put around Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean? I wish in areas like this and esepcially in Silent Valley near me it would look wonderful. Hope ya well and thanks for popping in :)

Morning Si... thanks mate - this is not a big area of trees but there are definite a few gems that make you get the camera out. atb Al

Thanks Kev.. I am sure you have passed through this on your walks.

Good Morning Mart.... thanks for the watch and lovely commwent - much appreciated my friend. atb Al

Thank you buddy 😊

Good Morning Lee. I was going to say she has made great strides this week - but thats not stricty true..lol - However there has definitely been an uplift in the mood for her. Progress is very slow but she will get there I am sure. Hope ya well and thanks again for the lovely comment, glad you enjoyed the images. atb Al

Morning Lisa, I saw a posting on the community tab late one night and then it disappeared but I think it said you was due to come back to the channel soon - and something about a calendar? I have lots of news to catch up with you, sadly 2024 has not been a great year for us... will get around to mailing you in a day or so. Btw, Jack is on his way to Oz in a few weeks 😊 x

Not on my own then... thanks for wathing and commenting - much appreciated.

Good Morning buddy... 2024 has been a bit of a bummer in many ways mate - hopefully things will start getting better soon. Hope you are well. atb Al

@@thevalleywalker cwtch all round … and a meet up when your ready

Good Morning Mali, what a pleasure it was to see a comment from yourself - tis much appreciated. There are some content creators who could do a channel just out of their b roll I reckon..lol. Thanks for the lovely comment my friend. 😊

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. It was on the Friday we finally got 3 points on the board - so all in all a very enjoyable day. MOT 😊

@@thevalleywalker lets not talk about WBA game. Good to see some people turning up in the transfer window.

Hi Adam, thanks for the visit. I am sorry I got the name wrong on the screen - I am a complete dipstick at times..lol. I have walked that bridge a few times - when visiting Cwm Sere but sometimes my head is in the clouds when I am heading off 1st thing so don't take in my surroundings - I go off like a locomtive and then slow down. Glad you liked the images, I will return there again soon hopefully when conditions are more favourable. Dave's channel is great and I always enjoy his content. I have actually seen the whole cambrian way videos as he showed me them as he was doing it - its a fabulous walk. atb Al

@@thevalleywalker Dipstick lol haven’t heard that term in ages! 😂 Yes I agree the Cambrian way would be the journey adventure of a lifetime. It would take me like a year to complete probably with my fitness! Some people do it in 5 days! Mental

Thank you buddy, you are so kind and geneous with your words - its much appreciated. Fingers crossed we have our catch up soon.

Good afternoon Stephen, thanks for the watch & the lovely comment. I saw your images from the waterfalls, fab. Going forward I am hoping to get more time and if so I hope we can have that meet up down the gorge we spoke about. atb Al

Afternoon Dave... there was me telling you only days before I had not missed being out with the camera - I think I was lying to myself just a little..lol Thanks fopr the watch & comment mate, nuch appreciated. atb Al

Thanks Rob... it was a purely spontaneousthing with the camera - so glad to have done it now though - have had some lovely comments about doing this and my images. Catch up soon my friend. atb Al

Afternoon Al.. its not been a great year for sure. A week before her fall I had a tia. I know its not been great for yourself eiher - lets hopegoing forward better luck for us all. atb Al

Good afternoon Martin.. I would safely say there are not many places in the Beacons I could search out that you are unaware of..lol. Thansk again for the visit and comment, tis much appreciated. Might just meet you on the hills one of these days 😊

Thanks buddy.. hope you are well - have you slipped of my radar, can't think I have seen any contnent from you in a bit.. I am off now to check just in case. atb Al
