• BCA Finances

    An informative discussion

    Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"

Not my neck of the woods, so no idea where this is. Nice pics though.

Yes its Bwlch Glas photographed by Chris ONeil, on Youtube as "Shonky Tours". He partners with a Milda. They are nice people, I have corresponded with them.
The videos are worth watching, no 'click bait' just honest exploring.

I believe Oakley is being blocked in because he openly shows people where the entrance is (through the quarry)

I hugely enjoy his videos, nobody knows Blaenau quarries like he does. But it does seem him and Milda are very interested in publicity, Milda's "perfectly preserved" book, then this article.
Like Mike says he could have been more careful about Oakley entrances. It's odd as he seems such an enthusiastic (understatement!) and thoughtful guy.

He certainly knows his stuff, but pushes the boat out a bit in some of his videos, such as Manod WW2 storage facility. He knows all the local people, maybe he thinks this gives him licence.
Thing is, there are far worse on Youtube, we just have to live with it. But things have a way of going round in circles.
At least he avoids the clickbait title descriptions. And they are very good videos, as I said, honest exploration. Mildas "book" a bit tongue in cheek i think.
Someone in Cornwall made one with ?death trap? in the title, wonder how long that place stays open now.

This is true and the same for manod unfortunately, if he continues we will just keep loosing history and places to explore its such a shame someone has to ruin things for everyone else just to get likes and attention
