Rhondda, Glamorgan Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• The place where your 100% guarenteed a shag is the banc in pentre. After a quick go up the lane you can then make your way to kams indian up the road (best around). A bit of ADVICE, if you have a girlfriend don't take her up the banc because people will be trying it on left right and center, knowing that your her boyfriend, it's a guarenteed fight.
• The ally YSTRAD RHONDDA
• Pandy seems to be the place for slappers united to gather!
• The Bank
• The best spot in the rhondda, is in penygraig down the flats, loads of cool things to do and take.
• The road from Maerdy to Aberdare where the old railway station used to be. Also on the mountain slopes behind Richard Street.
• ummm no where all the corners and benches r taken up by preps!!!!!!!
• sandy banks in ystrad where all the cute boyz hang.
• Cymmer Fish Shop is a new hangout spot!they stand outside and act like fools!they were band once by the police but they seem 2building up again!they are not little kids they r about 16 but it proves how shit the rhondda is theres fuck all to do except hang around street corners on the slap or if u r a boy hang around trying to get off with girls or annoy them!if they dont hang around street corners they are hiding some where smoking pot,getting pissed or av'n a rub!!they wonder why teenage pregnancy is rising in the rhindda its because theres fuck all for youngsters to do so they get pissed and nx thing they know its "mam,im preganant" they want 2do things that will entertain youngests of all ages!
• the new place for slags 2hang around is porth by Paradise Cafe(the chicken Shop)well u cant exactly call them slags they r only bout 12 but they do enough jumpn in cars shagn round!its fucking disgusting!!!!
• The Stands in Tynewydd park where all the girls and the boys get drunk with a flagen of cider and smoke pot all night, then when off their faces they all get down to having sex.
• The feeder behind Tonypandy Comprehensive. It's kinda like a river, where we all go to get stoned, or bunk off MR MORRIS' or maybe MR EVANS' lesson- but never MRS BURNS or MRS ROULSTEN JONES- eeeek, it's cool.
• well here in the rhondda fach when i was younger the place we used the hang out was Queens square in tylorstown where we used to sip cider and tell stupid jokes- where's the harm?
• Under 'the Arch' in Cwmparc. A favourate spot for stupid, foul-mouthed, pizza-faced youths who are unimportant (have nothing important to do and nowhere important to go). Known locally as "Pongo Corner".
• hya u lot. speaking of one who knows Clydach and the Rhondda like the back of hand. hook uo spots in my day were outside the old peoples centre "the Bench" by the Garage in Penygraig and i am so old that i can even remember when car slapping in Pandy was possible b4 they shut it all off!!! otha than that it was pants and still is! all i can say is thank god i looked older than i did and graduated from it all by the age of 15!
• The car park at the very top of Clydach Vale is ideal if you enjoy a loud chat at 4 am. Plenty of room, please feel free to join them.
• well in the Rhondda, theres Tonypandy, a where bunch of 13-15 year old girls wearing summer clothes in the middle of winter hang out trying to pull the boyracers. The girls look like theyve raided the make up section of a Boots shop. In Trealaw, there is the Trealaw Social Club a.k.a the Res.Here you can have a pint, watch digital tv, play pool, and theres a regular show/quiz night. In Trealaw, there is the spar shop, the don, garth park and the A.W.C shack(otherwise known as the train station).
• Anywhere- plenty of slags for all!
• loads of crappy places - by the bute toilets in treherbert, the horizon in gelli, pandy woolworths (total slappers) & days in wattstown!
• Most of the valley seems to be infested with drunk teenagers in tracksuits. Particular hot spots are Lo-Cost car park, the horizon (Ton), Pandy Woolworths doorway, outside Sid's shop in Cwmparc.
• The stones. Some ornamental boulders on the corner of Abergorki Industrial Estate. was a wonderful place for getting pissed on cheap cider and stoned to fuck as huge lorries rumble past all day during the summer holidays.
• I think piped Frank Synatra music, and pink lights should be put arounf those hook-up spots. Cos pink lights highlight zits, that should move them on.
• Treorchy Library wall is a good one as it has a Portaloo right by it. 10p for 15 minutes.
• Outside the library in Treorchy. A bit sad, but handy for the off licence where very youthful drinkers can get served with cheap lager.
• woolworths in pandy where all the car tarts go on the pull and outside the pandy in where all slappers go on the pull
• the king gorges park in clydach is full of drugies and is a place where everyone goes for sex also woolworths in pandy where a lot of slags hang around
• Well there is one hook up spot in the Rhondda where we all have fun and that is the Melon in Ystrad. People drink themselves to death and other people neck each other. Also other people cry because their other half is meeting someone else (bad really) but it is crap sometimes and good on other times. The melon is near the rhondda Sport Centre be there!!! (By Custard)
• ystrad sports centre and the melon great friday night spot to get high.
• The Feda behind Tonypandy Comprehensive, the local bonging spot where everyone goes to get stoned out of their brains
• The Melon, a football field by Ystrad train station,a local friday night spot where everyone goes to get pissed, everyone necks each other,,great!!!!
• The Baglan Field Bench
• In Ton Pentre again, outside the Phoenix (the cinema) just down the road from Fagins.
• Comeing from the Rhondda I have come to the conclusion that the place has completely fuck all to offer young peaple in the way of employment or entertainment.I have,nt seen a great deal of the world but in comparison this place has,nt got a great deal going for it.So in a nut shell fuck you.
• The Horizon's cool for the Gelli and Pentre peeps but what about further down the valley? The new bus shelter, outside Woolies and through the pedestrianised bit is where little-but-think-they're-big kids hang round, and us with cars collect under gateways, yes still.
• The Horizion , just opposite the Library, used to be my playground.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide.
