    Wow, what a fascinating exploration of Dinorwic Quarry! The sheer size and history of this abandoned Slate Quarry are truly awe-inspiring. Hay and Kyle did a fantastic job showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of this hiking location in Snowdonia/Eryri National Park. The breathtaking views of the mountains, the glimpse of the abandoned Anglesey Barracks, and the search for the hidden waterfall all added an element of adventure to the video. It's great to have the opportunity to experience the hike vicariously through their exploration. Thank you for taking us on this virtual journey and introducing us to these must-see spots in the mountain ghost town of Dinorwic Quarry.

    Absolutely stunning video, those epic views, loved what you found at the end of the tunnel, my heart was in my mouth though in case you slipped on that path, can't believe the scale of everything, no wonder you & Hayley loved it so much and looks like Pupper was enjoying himself too, looking forward to seeing your next adventure, love and hugs and a fuss for Pupper 🥰♥️♥️♥️💕xxx

    Wow, what a great video Kyle and Hayley, must say enjoyed hearing the Slate stone pieces crackling under your feet, very relaxing. Dinorwic Quarry North Wales is sure a huge place and it seemed like you were there by yourselves. Glad you finished off with the secret Waterfall at the end, great way to end the video. The drone footage, different angels and the music were all fantastic.

    Just about to watch. Did you know, that in that very area, there is a hydroelectric power plant that goes five miles inside the mountain? (In fact, you were walking directly above it). They used to do bus tours inside, and it feels like you’re inside one those rumoured-to-exist deep underground military bases. It’s pretty remarkable feat of engineering.

    My grandad was a quarry man there, picture of him on a bosun's chair in what looks like a suit, on the vertical face of the quarry (where he and the others were apparently setting charges to blow up the face) my mum and auntie played there as kids (against the rules at the time) during the time it was still in operation around the 1940's + 50's they lived in Deiniolen .
