    We are off to Wales tomorrow from southern,England, and, because of you video, we will be going to see Herbert’s Quarry on our way up to Dolgamedd in Snowdonia

      Looks like you are going to have a great week for weather - sunny and dry (Although Snowdonia can do anything at anytime)

      @@flydriveexplore Hi, I’ve just seen your reply. Yes we had great weather, a bit chilly in the evening camping but beautiful clear views on our journey. On the way up we stopped at Herbert’s Quarry for a short time and we’re going to explore a bit more on the way home. However, as you said, the weather can change, and it did! You couldn’t see anything when we went there again on the way home. 5mph driving through the clouds…Definitely worth a longer visit next time.

    I was in the car park Sunday morning at sunrise, and it was probably one of the most incredible sights I've ever seen.

      It must be especially at dawn over the mountains on a clear day.

    Enjoyed this tranquil walk with you. Sounds like a very dangerous industry. Haha Las Vegas is one of our family's favorites too. My kids are currently begging for a Vegas trip.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 года назад

      It's very tranquil but in the winter it must have been a hard place to work. Hopefully, we will be able to fly to the US and Vegas at some point in the not too distant future.

    Great Video as always . Brilliant 👍👍
    Fascinating History of this area which I had no idea of and we drove past the site on the way to Llangadog without even realising it existed. I think we were distracted by the stunning scenery. 😃
    Thanks for posting 👍👍👍😃

    Love your videos especially this one I don’t live very for from the black mountain and we go up there very often especially on nice days for the views. Not far from those quarries are some Bronze Age grave mounds maybe you could do a video on the,

      Thanks for watching. I did see the burial mounds marked on the map I had but just didn't have time on this visit. Will definitely be going back.

    What a fascinating yet forlorn place. I will certainly be making a visit to this wonderful area - I am amazed at just how deliciously devoid of people it is - which suits me down to the ground. As far as I am concerned, Hell is other people.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 года назад +2

      It was quiet but it was a weekday. Not sure how busy it gets at the weekend but if you go early it should be quiet and there's plenty of countryside to get away from anybody.

      The Brecon Beacons are really interesting form villages and market towns to rugged moors and mountains. Well worth a trip and it's only a short drive from the coast.

    Was that area ever forested?

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  3 года назад +2

      It may have been but it would have been a very long time ago. During the bronze age and into the iron age much of the area was cleared for grazing.
