Hope Mountain / Mynydd yr Hob (Kodak Ektachrome 64T Super 8)

Super-8 cine film footage of a day out at Hope Mountain in Flintshire, North Wales (not far from Chester). Stock is Kodak Ektachrome 64T with an external 85B filter. Sorry about the awful "off-the-wall" transfer - it just doesn't do justice to the original film at all.

(Following text quoted from Wikipedia)

Hope (Welsh: Yr Hob) is a small village in Flintshire, north-east Wales.

The village is located approximately 4.5 km from the Wales/England border, on the course of the River Alyn. Hope belongs to a small group of closely related villages in its local area, including Caergwrle, Abermorddu and Cefn-y-bedd. One of the major features in the area is Hope Mountain (Mynydd yr Hob), to the west of the village, along with a recently worked-out quarry to the north.

The local secondary school, Castell Alun High School, is located in the village; there is also a primary school, Ysgol Estyn.

Hope has good transportation links with local towns and cities, notably Wrexham, Chester and Mold, with the Borderlands Line running directly through Hope Station giving access to Liverpool.
