I’ve been to all the quarries in North Wales as a kid. Over the years my dad worked at every single site. He was a well known, and very much sought after, fabrication welder. He had his own business. I remember one quarry was just full of big mechanical machinery (JCB diggers etc) and drivers wizzing back and too. There where big holes everywhere! The sides would just start falling down, rubble and rocks. Then my dad showed me “the blue lagoon”. WOW! The water was a beautiful colour. Bluey/green in colour, and so clear. It was mesmerising! ….I couldn’t see the bottom though. I remember asking my dad how deep it was, and he told me that no one knew! People had tried to measure it but it was impossible they said. They believed there was no bottom to the lagoon. I idolised my dad…especially when he’d let me go on all the JCBs, diggers and cranes with him ☺️😄. Thanks for uploading this, fella’s. It took me right back to being a kid again 😊
That tunnel used to lead to another quarry, however the council used it as a landfill site from the 70's to 2009 when it was filled in and capped. There is all sorts of nasty stuff coming through the mountain, and they've spent thousands on gas monitoring and water purification.
It's not an unchartered mine, it's the drainage adit for pen Yr orsaf quarry. It's a quarry, open workings. A mine is underground. We all love old mines and abandoned quarries, and enjoy watching, but please, GET Helmets when exploring tunnels. I used to be no helmet until I got a helmet and a rock fell on my head, would have killed me if not for helmet.
I heard on the news today in Australia, that a man was stuck in a mine shaft somewhere in Wales, I immediately thought one of you 3 silly buggers were final caught underground
had the exact same response... but then they discussed how the stuck guy was "an experienced, fit caver", so I knew it wasnt one of our lads. bwahahaha
A common misconception. It's true that bad ground can have very little reverb, however this is not always the case. A huge variety of factors can change the acoustics in a mine so you should never rely on this. I have been in many underground chambers cut into solid rock with virtually no echo, and they were perfectly safe and sound.
I dont think that's true in this case as the walls were layered slate and that would of absorbed most of the sound like how acoustic panels work and if you noticed, when they left that walled off section, the echo returned which highlights how the slate wall was the cause of the anechoic chamber.
The anxiety show first thing in the morning, jesus. You know you're in trouble when Norton is the voice of reason. Might have been a blast furnace, they have vertical shafts with a mechanism at the top.
If your going into any tunnels i would suggest you have a gas and oxygen monitor, or a canary, your choice obviously, but take one with you regardless and maybe get a confined space course under your belt so you know what to do in an emergency, better safe than sorry. Great videos by the way.
... 17:42 ... it isnt a mine but a naturally occuring tunnel modified ... there is interesting rock formations throughout the tunnel but i dont believe anybody has quarried this out but it is like this naturally ... take a look at the tunnel here at 17:42 with the slate shale pieces added to parts of the tunnel wall to build it up ... there is something else going on with the tunnel but i cannot find the words to describe it as yet ... i came across information once about huge - mountain size petrified trees ... and some of the rock formation in this tunnel is a bit like the petrified rock - small trees - in arizona america petrified desert ...
250 people have just been involved in the rescue of a very experienced caver who became injured exploring a cave and it took 2 days to get him out. Then we have Hell On Earth!
Scary because those water soaked slate bricks look as if they’d collapse down into the narrow passage, whereas solid rock cave walls are much stronger and dependable.
"Is it solid rock? Yes its not this slate brick stuff? yes- no its not slate brick? no its slate its rock? no like a traditional mine? yes right okay" 😂😂12:05
It's a slate dressing shop, they drag the slate out on little carts on those rails. They split the slate, then cut it up . Then put it o racks, graded by size, eg 18" by 12", or 9" by 6 ". Then it gets hung on those hooks waiting for a hoss & cart to cart it away. The swing jib crane is top load the carts.
Beautiful mine, what we saw of it. That’s hella cool, though, how they built those little ledges every so often to put the planks on and run the track, genius way to drain the mine and not have to slog through muck and water. Quite unique.... Never seen that in any other mine, actually.
you guys do have some awesome history there, in western north america our history is so young.. we dont have the ancient mines like you guys do! love the explores
You do realize that Egyptian artifacts found to have copper from Lake Erie ? They are ruins on North America, just got look . We have history in North America from past civilizations , however this doesn’t fit with current narratives . There many other examples.
Let's be honest, we all keep on watching Al's back hoping for Lloydy to get stuck in the mud blocking the passage for Al who is deeper in the mine all the while Norton is stood outside too scared to go in and save them.
I personally go down mines and watch videos on them to see if there is any old things still down there.. my rule is never touch walls or timber and keep left if it splits off, so you know your way back. 👍
I can't help but feeling you chaps might benefit from the purchase of a pair of wellies or two. It looked quite wet down there. Get some 'Hell on Earth' wellies in your merch shop then wear them in the next mine as a promo?
"I think people watch it in the hope that something bad happens" That's exactly why I watch mine explores.. Same goes for Formula One racing, World Rally Car racing and the Chelsea Flower Show.
“In case something bad happens…” At the Chelsea Flower Show?! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: it’s been 5 minutes and I’m still giggling at the thought of what a disaster at the CFS would look like! 😂
The ultimate words the Cave Show you just know it's going to be good. Foot prints only going one way now that's not good. Never seen so many buildings around a mine before in such good condition great to explore just take care and stay safe.
Rotting Wood in mines can produce methane. You often find low oxygen where wood is rotting too. I know you don't do health and safety, but you might want to get an oxygen meter.
@@upthehoe No worries. I don't want you guys to die before Al and Norton have had chance for the marriage to flourish 💐❤️ Such a lovely couple, and I'm not sure if it was just my eyes, or is that a little little bump I see under Al's t-shirt!?! 😲 👶🍼🤱
@@upthehoe plus they last for years at a time, so it’s a very rare expense. Well maybe not years but a long-ass time. Definitely always a good thing to have if you go underground. You can see loose rock (or hear it, if there’s a lack of echo), see holes in the ground, and pretty much most other dangers underground, but toxic gas and low oxygen is invisible. Saw a video of a guy who bought an old missile silo, drained the water out and went right on in... only reason he survived is because he was filming and his voice changed from inhaling methane. Deadly shit. If he hadn’t been filming and narrating, he and his buddies probably would have dropped dead.
You guys should try doing the Anglesey copper mine near Amlwch it's pretty sketchy but massive. Edit: the steam that runs down the mountain through the town is red due to the copper from the mountain it's pretty awesome ✌️
Fucking hilarious video, one of the best you've ever done. Lloydy cracks me up. Had a shit day at work and this had me laughing out loud time and time again, thanks guys
Need someone to buy it like that guy in America who bought an abandoned silver mining town and he's living in it fixing some of it up while exploring all of the mines to find anything lost down there and for any traces of the silver.
I went exploring the mines above Blaenau Ffestiniog back in 78. A mile in it opened up to show the whole top of the mountain had collapsed in on its self Amazing mines . Amazing place . Unsociable locals Talked Welsh when they found we were english I could understand the swearing directed towards us . Inb reds
@@idleyesss When people speaking english in a pub turn to Welsh when they hear your accent I class that as ignorant .. This was the time when the Welsh were burning Holiday homes owned by the English. I'm half Welsh .Hughes's moved to Durham to mine the coal fields . but weren't welcome to visit where they came from sad to say.
so my partner has those mini blowtoarch lighters... and yes thats what HE uses them for... but i like to use them for my candles and shit because i nearly always burn my fingers trying to use a "normal" lighter cause of the fucking flame creeping up while im trying to light them... AND theyre for more fun.. its like fire but agressive.

That's lack of sound is a bad thing... You always want an good echo. No echo = not stable and dangerous.
Yeah, you wouldn't have thought a mine would be an anechoic chamber (opposite of an echo chamber)

since when did norton own a beast like that!? im on about his truck btw, what a beauty! im now on about Al btw
Brilliant absolutely loved the banter with you three thanks lads great video. ..
... 25:37 ... i remember one of these stones - it is a pumice-like stone ... small faces track " the autumn stone " ...

That furnace was fueled by the body's of miners, the big saw was used for cutting them up! 🤪
Let's be honest, we all keep on watching Al's back hoping for Lloydy to get stuck in the mud blocking the passage for Al who is deeper in the mine all the while Norton is stood outside too scared to go in and save them.
Why was the audio erta ferting from about 15:00 onwards but only inside the mine, when Norton was talking outside it was fine.
Wow, the scenery is beautiful.
I personally go down mines and watch videos on them to see if there is any old things still down there.. my rule is never touch walls or timber and keep left if it splits off, so you know your way back. 👍

It may have been more beautiful ! ,50 years ago! Glad y'all got out ok ! Thanks Bros 🧚😅👍
Norton, that swinging arm is a crane to bring heavy slate in through the door for curing and storage
Another awesome video, nice one guys. I’d have got about 6 feet in there and messed myself!!
Entertaining 👍👍We've not done a mine before... I doubt I will at least not one like this lol 🤣... Well done for getting out alive 👌😎
Fucking hilarious video, one of the best you've ever done. Lloydy cracks me up. Had a shit day at work and this had me laughing out loud time and time again, thanks guys
100% his ball was hanging out when he stepped from the door in his boxes lol lol lol🤪😂😅😆
Simple, humble, nice.
Top Job Chaps 🤘
Just because you give me some chicken nuggets, doesnt mean you're a fucking chef... reminded me of Misfits.
I must say boys, I was hoping it wasn't one of u lot stuck down that mine in brecon the last cppl days hehehe
I must admit that when I saw the news of the stuck guy I did think of Hell on Earth 😂😂😂
We are toi professional to get stuck
@@upthehoe 🤣🤣🤣
I need one of your waterproofs!
In hot mines, miners just wear their pit boots and their pants!
The opposite of an echo chamber is an anechoic chamber, and they are very eerie!
First noise you guys make in the morning is MEOW!!!!!!!!!
Guys u have been everywhere in UK apart from here in northern Ireland u would love it here lads

I'm with you Lloydy, If a tunnel ceiling looks that sketch I'm outta there.
You say that mine was man made but it looks more like the work of Orcs. Dwarves would certainly not build anything so shoddy
That slate tunnel reminded me of the film The Keep - I was expecting one of you to get their head chewed off 🤪
im glad it wasnt you lot stuck down the cave/mine in wales the other day :)
KEEP GOING!!
What's the opposite of Echo Chamber? Anechoic chamber. Yes, the opposite of an echoic chamber? Anechoic Chamber. Yes. 🦇🤯

Yes lads , new video, i actually look forward to tuesdays lol.
don't die......rarely worth it and me and the mrs would miss your vids✌

I'd never slate these lads!
Them blue flame lighter are the prefered lighters for cigar smokers because they dont taint the flavour of the cigar
I'm sure I saw in another mining video when there's no echo it's a danger sign. I could be wrong.
and yes the boring one stops moaning when the scared one is behind him for some reason lol
was it max and paddy ? back on road again ?
