    Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned untouched millionaire mansions, secret underground bunkers, derelict industrial factories and abandoned theme parks. We're not serious urban explorers, if you can't tell, so don't expect a history documentary packed with valuable information. Instead expect 3 down to earth guys exploring abandoned places. Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Be safe whilst exploring.

    The victorian Cookes tunnel boaring machine was first used in Maenofferen mine in Blaenau Ffestiniog and was top secret, they even walled part of the mine to hide it from prying eyes, but they thought it was too slow compared to explosives and manpower, so Cookes and hunter touted it to the mine you visited. I've videos of it on my chanel and the mine.
    The iconic blue cortina was pushed in by silly urbexers who spoil it for sensible guys. Trashed the place. Plenty of mines on my page if your stuck. Gold Mines, slate mines all sorts. Nice one ❤️

      Not trying to be a jerk but it's "you're" as in "if you are stuck". If I was referring to your possessions or your grammar I would use the word "your" "your mom" "your words" "your fault". You are learning "you're learning". I would be glad to help peer review any important written work if you're stuck. 😉

    Fun fact, that little orderly drainage river on the side of that adit is actually called a piss ditch. Not even kidding. Anyhow good work boys, always a pleasure. Nothing like a good subterranean explore, spiced up with a little blood and crude humor. You’re absolutely right about the walking/running for no reason other than fitness, by the way. Lunatics, all of ‘em. Maybe we should advertise ourselves as murderers and chase fitness freaks down the street for money so they have a reason to do what they do. D’you think we’d end up in prison?

    Gr8 vlog guys. I think tunnels are much older than victorians, tunnels like this found all over the realm. US has them coast to coast as do probably every country. Maybe there was another civilisation in the past we are not being told of.
    Where i live in essex i am currently researching a supposed ‘smugglers’ tunnel which was said to be 2 mile long, but i found evidence of it interconnecting all towns along coast of a min 50mile long at present, these are red bricked tunnles not stone. I also found ancient starforts and burial mounds not recorded on record.
