coke

way over due writing an actual report, got a back log of about 20 reports at the minute but just cant find the time or the internet speed for uploading to flickr, spend most the week working away on the most basic hotel wifi youve ever seen then when the weekend comes around im always off...

Explored with -Raz- Bit of background; Coke has been produced on this site for 130 years, with the current works being the last independent coke works in the country until it was bought by Hargreaves (Norec) in 2005. It is estimated that the plant produces 11 megawatts of energy, for the less...

Cwm Coke Cokeworks, Beddlau, South Wales – March 2015 Wow, this is one I have wanted to do for years and finally I got to see it. Me and Southside Assassin loaded up the car and headed off for a mixed weekend away in Wales. After taking a wrong turn and ending 20 miles too far from the...

CWM Cokeworks, Beddau The Explore After spending most of the night in Talgarth, Session9 and myself set off further south in search of some coke :) We’ve now been awake for around 30 hours, multiple cans of Monster have already been consumed to help with the drive down. Arrived at...

Visited today with Raz had a great time and a few close calls with the secca. I was suprsed to see that this wasnt on here already and only found a couple of reports on 28DL. anyway enough of my crap Enjoy Thanks guys :cool2:

Cwm Coke is one of those enigmatic places I had been looking at photos of long before I got into active exploring, one of the places I had always wanted to see but never thought I would...until today! On the drive up my imagined lovely sunny early morning wander round the site wasn't looking...

I went here at the beginning of the year and hated the place, I was meant to have gone with my nephew but he had to pull out, so I went on my own. The place is so intimidating after a hour I just had to get out of the place and said I wouldn't go back. I had a message from barracuda asking if I...

well i thought id go and see what all the fuss was about and set off early in the morning to find the beast that is cwm coke. im still blown away by the size of the place if im honest. there cant be that many places around quit like it. to date i would say it was the best 6 hours of urban...

This was my first port of call for the day, my nephew was going to come with me for the day but was unable too. This place is not really one for a solo visit but as I wanted to go there I just went on my own. I did try last August but failed to get in, so a couple of members gave me the entry...

Enjoy :)

Evening all, My third visit to this place which is not that far away from me in South Wales. Wasn't really going for myself but two long time explorer non members of this forum, one of which has been caught here twice in quick succession going back a few years before security got a bit slack...

History borrowed: Cwm Coke’s origins lie with the Great Western Railway and it’s insatiable hunger for coal. The GWR sunk pits at the Cwm site in 1909 as well as in other areas of the Rhondda, but Cwm didn’t become known for it’s coke until 1958 when the coking ovens...

Explored with Therealindianajones, Tommo, Klempner69 and Marlon Was a great day exploring with great people, Had loads of laughs and outrageous banter, and thanks to the good old welsh weather we also got very very wet :)

Hi guys, A few of the photos below are from 2 x 8 hours explores that coincided with weekends of Welsh sport so guard and dog was non existant!! This place is a huge abandoned coke works that is just standing there and is likely to be left in the same way for a long time as its massive! Also...

This was the last port of call on our 2 day trip to Wales.After a less than sound nights sleep in the car which in my opinion was worse than sleeping at Pool Park the night before we headed in not long after the sun had started coming up ,which would explain some of the shots!Really liked this...
