Morning Walk for an explosive St David's day

We are still issues connecting to the Hive Upload API

@steevc just finished a 3.41km walk, that lasted for 39 minutes.
This walk helped steevc burn 343.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
I have been back in North Wales were I have some family. There was a big get-together that was a lot of fun. We stayed at the Griffin Hotel in Penrhyndeudraeth that is nice. This morning I fancied a walk so I strolled past the station and followed the road to see what I could find.

Enjoying the view

It is spectacular here with the mountains and estuary, but you never know what the weather will do. It was predicted to rain over the weekend, but it was not too bad really. I thought there might be a track up the nearest hill and I found a trail that takes in the old explosives works. This operated until 1995 when the decline of local mining made it not viable. They produced grenades for WW2.

Fortified building

Hundreds of people worked there and some of the buildings are still standing. These have extra walls as protection. There are also some ponds that were used for cooling. It was dangerous work and there were some fatal accidents.

Pendulum shed

At the top of the hill is a building with a massive pendulum that was used to test the strength of the explosives. A charge would be fired against it and the swing could be measured.

This is some cool industrial archaeology with plenty of signs to explain it.

I only met one lady out for a walk. It was slippery in places, but I managed to not fall. There will be wildlife around, but I just saw and heard some birds.

It was a nice way to start the day.

Looks like a fascinating place. The pendulum thing sounds very heath Robinson.

I guess it was effective. Not many machines could survive that. They took lots of precautions such as banning workers from having any metal on them to reduce risk of sparks.

It's interesting to think about how they would calibrate the pendulum. Imagine having that job? 🤣👍

You can calculate the force needed to move it to get done sort of scale. Got to get the chemical mix right for predictable results. Someone I know used to get stuff from them when he worked in a slate mine. That was a big industry there, but not now.

We haven't been to Wales for years. It has a lot of industrial history for sure. We visited an coal mine that had been converted into a museum. Terrible working conditions for the miners back then.

I think walking through these historically rich areas must be instersting, particularly knowing the stories behind those old structures.

It’s a beautiful part of the world, I’m always itching to go back there, was only there the September before last. I had no idea about the explosives factory though, how fascinating. The Pendulum sounds quite the responsibility!

It was a nice discovery for me. Obviously the locals know all about it. A lot of local industry has gone, but adventure sports are big here now.

Gotta love those Welsh miners. We had a lot of Cornish folks in my neck of the woods back in the day.

They were hardy folk doing difficult work. It's a rugged landscape. I just can't understand when they talk Welsh.

The pendulum testing shed is such a unique piece of industrial archaeology. It’s wild to think about how they measured explosive strength back then.

As many people have seen I've been called a spammer on Hive for sharing the truth about my situation

They can call me a spammer and downvote me as much as they like it changes nothing I bring you the truth take a look at everything I've shared and I've still got a whole lot more

So to you seriously stupid people just leave me alone and now you will need to bring my rep back as acidyo decided to take it away with the help of blocktrades delegations 🤔

Hive is dying and if nothing changes it won't just be dieing it will be dead 😂

Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today in this post is some of the evidence to prove my case

If you didn't know I've been getting downvoted for a long time on Hive

They have been trying to bully me with downvotes and words but it doesn't affect me I've been online for over 25 years

So I've dealt with people like this before it's nothing new

But what they are doing is bad Very badi joined steemit like everyone else thinking it offers freedom but I must say steemit offered much more freedom than Hive does

Everyone already knows I only post my own original content I have no need to steal anything from anyone

I've been labelled a lot of things on Hive 😂 by the biggest farmers scammers and downvoters

Actions speak louder than any words do especially when them words are coming from a compolsive liars

I will keep updating this post when I get time
