@@mt1254 Glad you liked it Bob, I've got to be in the mood to use the drone... it's a bit of a faff if I'm not!😂 Trust you and yours are well, thanks for watching and commenting it's much appreciated ATB Alistair 👍
Hi Alistair. Cracking video mate, so interesting. Amazing that all these places are still here to explore. A brilliant little history lesson, thanks so much for taking us around. All the best mate 😀
@@DAoutdoors I love it over there Dave, I've walked over all the hills... you don't see a soul...and it's good for the soul! Thanks for watching and commenting,ATB Alistair 👍
@@grahamtowler1761 Hi Graham, yes a short life expectancy for sure ☹️. I find them fascinating places, the endeavour and determination to win a living under such conditions has always interested me. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers Alistair 👍
Really enjoyed that Alastair. I know it’s something a bit different but I love it. Really like the new scooter - I’d love one of those 😁👌♥️ So sad to see the building left to rack and ruin in that last mine that closed, as they look of a good old age and it’s only been closed 25 years.
@@PhilipOlsen11 Glad you enjoyed it Phil, most of the old workings at these two mining areas are protected now. The scooter replaced my KTM 1190 Adventure which was a bit of a handful to move about now that my mobility isn't quite what it was. I'm enjoying the scooter immensely 90mpg, easy 75mph cruising and 45lit storage under the seat👌 + Honda reliability and build quality👌 Thanks for watching and commenting, it's always much appreciated ATB Alistair 👍
@@atrampinthehills.841 I love it too Steve, did you camp kind of behind the garage down in the bottom? That's a bit of a rum spot! Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers Alistair 👍

It's not pronounced "Groover rake" It's Grove rake as in a grove of trees and a garden rake .
