The Urban Adventure
crystal clear waters
Day 3 in Wales and after a night of torrential non-stop rain the morning did not look like it was going to improve!...so with that in mind we decided to go underground!
After a small trek up the side of a mountain, being passed on the way by two chaps carrying diving gear, a walk across the grassy plateau and then down the slippery steps to the entrance of this now disused silica mine…
Negotiating the tricky entry point we kitted up in our finest LED Lenser gear and headed into the gloom!...it was very humid and the moisture content in the air was just crazy! Well..it’s been raining for days! This place is huge!
We quickly found the water and took some pics..the reflections in the crystal clear pools were amazing, the colours have not been done justice.
The divers were heading back to base camp for more gear! They dive in these pools to a depth of 25m plus! The pics they showed me were awesome !
Could have spent hours down here but the girls wanted to head back…glad I saw it whilst in Wales !
Shot with a Nikon D7100 with a Sigma 10-20mm
Lit with a variety of LED Lenser torches – p7.2 P7.0 X21 H7
