Cwm Coke (The one near me in S Wales) Jan 2014

This was my first place of the day, but left to last as I hate the place.
This is my second visit, but the first I was not able to get in. This time was told of the entry points, but the easiest had been fixed. So was a ankle deep wade and a unpleasant and wet entry to get in.
I have always wanted to have a look around here, but I don't know what it is but I hated the place from the time I did get in. After a hour I was just wanting to get out of there and go somewhere else.
I have seen lots of photos of this place and to be different I used my fisheye, some are a little dark but they are all straight from the camera.

got there just before 8 and left just after nine, could hear a dog barking but hoped it was just someone taking there dog for a walk.
Felt uneasy all the time I was there

I know what you mean about this place, i felt on edge the whole time, no idea why, think it's all the talk about that dog being there

Might go back now i know the guard dog laws and it wasn't to bad now i look back on it , just very wet

Awesome pictures! Scary to think that some people climbed up and got inside. I dont know whether I could do that.
I visited there in earlier and so should share some pictures!

Climbed up the conveyors you mean? Lots of us have. I chickened out the first couple of times I visited and they were in much better nick when I did eventually do it than they are now, I don't fancy it so much now. It's well worth it for the aerial view though if you can brave it.

I am not keen on heights anyway, but to do it alone would be mad even for me, I recon if there was someone else with me I would have done at least one of them.

Yep I can totally respect that!

See, I'm the other way around... I'll crack height on my own but not with others... others make me nervous lol!

That came out wrong in a way, like you, I prefer to climb on my own (Like the Tower pit head and St Lukes) but knowing there is someone there if something did happen
