Yes yes I know more DPIS pics.
I can see why this place is so popular though. Its got a bit over everything.
From the top of the clocktower to the cellers.

Visited with silverstealth after a planed road trip north o' the border went Pete Tong at the last minute.
Ran into meanwood monks and co while there. Fortunatly for mm & co they didnt walk up behind us and get a nasty shock from my "stealth" t-shirt ;)

A little bit of a misson to get into and not sure if access will remain as easy as it currently is as the timbers around here are sucoming to both time and large amounts of pigeon shit :eek:

Not sure if this is 1844 or 1944
Looking at the 8 it looks like its not been finished off so ended up a 9 but 1944 could also make sence if there where ARP fire watchers up there during WWII

many thanks to silver for the tour
