Al I love exploring abandoned mines with my friend Ioan, when I get spare time from my day job! I am also a landscape artist and enjoy metal detecting as well as scuba diving. Some of the places Ioan and I have found underground have been untouched since the departure of the last miners over 100 years ago, which makes them eerie but thrilling to discover and explore. This book shows some of the best places we have found whilst filming our videos for YouTube. Our hope is to increase interest and appreciation for Wales’ lost metal mining industry. Ioan On my time off from my day job as a guard and fireman on the Vale of Rheidol Railway, I love exploring the abandoned mines with my friend Al, as well as photographing and documenting them for my research and for future generations. My aim is to one day open a Museum of Welsh Metal Mining. Al and Ioan
