Not much has changed since RAndys visit but the sump is sadly full of water way above the grill limit and the post could start to flood soon:(

Pretty damp down there hence the damage to paperwork and other items, also if visiting watch out for the rusty hasps that you can very easily cut youself on when coming up/ down the post, and don't hold onto the hatch for support as it doesnt hold properly:thumb
