BumperCam #01 - Croesor Slate Mine, North Wales

My work sometimes takes me to some very special and remote places using one of my Land Rovers to access a site normally forbidden to vehicles. I usually try to remember to leave a camera recording on the bumper so that others can enjoy it too. In this first episode, myself and some colleagues have been given special permission to drive beyond the end of the normal legal highway onto a very old mountain track built in the 1800's to serve the long abandoned Croesor Slate Mine, high in the Welsh mountains. The old road only sees sheep and hikers now, although the local farmer on his quadbike sometimes uses part of it to tend his livestock. The track hasn't seen maintenance since the mine closed in the 1930's but remains in good general condition - despite the savage winter weather that batters it every year. In fact this valley apparently has the highest annual rainfall in Europe. The route clings to a steep mountainside, gaining height all the way with a sobering drop to the left. The odd 11kv power transmission pole still stands, although the cables are long gone. Presented in 2.35:1 format - the same as most cinemas.
