This is the place me and Royalbob visited earlier in the month. Held off posting due to reasons stated before.
This is a beautiful place, hopefully the people campaigning to save it will have a bit more luck.
I'm not gonna post any history - PM me if you want details. I don't want a couple of 14 year olds walking into something they're not prepared for - we knew the risks and gave it a shot. 'Security' is on site up to 5 times a day, 3 regular patrols and odd ones to catch folk out. If you recognise the place, please don't post the name up, this will help keep this out of google searches.
Anyway, enough boring shite, lets have some piccies. I fecking love this place - would go back in a flash if possible!
