Visited with Monk and TheFunk. Cambridge Military Hospital had been on my radar for a short while but I had shied away from a bimble for reasons I will not divulge here. Suffice to say, when I heard it was now 'brownfield' my interest went into overdrive. and a visit was planned.

Getting in is not entirely simple, and two trouser failures were suffered. Security were spotted in their brightly coloured attire along with a van with the legend "Dog Unit" plastered all over it.
Anyway, on with a few piccies:

Groundskeeper Willy and his mate suddenly turned up to play around on their sit-on mowers. We had visions of being trapped inside until it got dark:panic

No piccies of any bleeding doors. That room is a let down tbh. Although we bimbled right past it, we left the morgue alone. It looked more secure than a secure thing. Maybe next time.
