Idris Jones from Anglesey - a photo on Flickriver

Idris Jones from Anglesey

We were splashing through the mud and puddles on the tramway above Rhiwbach quarry when I sensed someone catching us up. We hadn't seen anyone else up there and were happy to stop and chat once we had a positive response to our greetings.

He introduced himself as Idris Jones from Anglesey. These are his mountains. He lives and breathes for the slate quarries, mines, tunnels and caves throughout Snowdonia. He was a Welsh mountain man through and through and it was a privilege to meet him and hear him talk about the history and details particularly of the underground workings in these mountains. But his other passion is Northern Soul dancing like this www.bing.com/videos/search?q=soul+dancing+crewe&view=...

And here he himself is in action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw02d0MZZ-k
Quite a character.

Again I pushed myself to get an informal portrait of him in his environment. It's not easy asking, but I am starting to find people rarely refuse if asked nicely
