With a failure trying to get on a rooftop on Friday night, we knew that this would be more easier but carry more risk. The only worry I have with rooftops and scaffolds is that someone will see us and think were going to jump so all the fire engines, police, ambulances and no doubt the Police helicopter will come out ruining the evening and causing me to lose my job, anyway's none of that happened so its all good! Opel 1 is huge student accommodation building that sits next to its sister building Opel 2. It has a Gym, a swimming pool and lots of CCTV, luckily most of the students were away (we did have to sneak past one room with people inside but that was it) and Im guessing the person who watches the CCTV monitors was away cos no one was sat in the security office. You can read more about Opel 1 here: http://www.opalstudents.com/student-accommodation/leeds/opal-1-2-ooleeds/features/security/

Thanks for looking!

After about 5mins of climbing we were finally on the top, with jelly legs we realised the views weren't that cracking but was still good to be up there thou

After about 20mins up on the top we could see the police helicopter in the distance, not looking for us or anything but we decided to head down a level just to be sure
