Elgin Roc Post - Morayshire group - 02/2010

My first ROC Post :)

I couldn't believe how close to the road this was...

I couldn't believe I'd never noticed this through the trees before, could I get in?...

This answers my question and is enough reason to hate vandals..

Should I go in? I wasn't sure what to expect..

It looked different from sites I've seen posted on here but for some reason I kind of liked it, maybe it's because I've never been in one before? Maybe it was the bright reds amongst the decay. This has been set on fire? (Looks crispy...) Another reason to hate vandals.

I liked the lighting here... I could have spent all day in this place rummaging around and putting things away in the cupboard.

I was also fascinated by the peeling paint...

What's the little pipe for?
(I visited here yesterday, 19/02/2010 with a non-urbex member)

I think its the outlet pipe for the sump.

It is the outlet pipe for the sump that you'll see at the bottom of the ladder. The hand pump if still there on the side took the excess water up and out.

Ohhh, OK.
I've edited it to add the hand pump picture.

Its a shame how some people find fun in setting them on fire, i just hope they get clobbered by setting light to the polystyrene tiles in one some day.

Good pics btw:thumb

Lol, lets just hope they burn their hands.
Thanks. :)

The Carron one is reasonably close to you and it's a pretty good one.

Rubbish ones have their own charm too. Good job on getting out there, and for fans of your other work, good job on getting them out there :thumb

May be burnt out but theres still a few bits to see and at least its not flooded, most first posts are pretty crap but mine wasnt to bad if you all remember;)

Nice one, ROC posts get pretty addictive :thumb

I can see why :)
I'm going to be bugging Wurzel and Nugget to take me to some posts they've been to, there's something very cool about being underground :D

well done an roc post is a bit of a right of passage, remember my first one very well, actually might just stick it up in the old threads section for old times sake.

^^ LOL, go for it. It's like a first shag is your first ROC post :-)

luckly mine wasnt a burnt out slapper :)

So long without one and now i can't leave them alone...:eek:

I'm still living the dream:lol:

Nice work going in there ZS, I took one look down the blackened access shaft and decided to give it a miss.
If you haven't already been, you should have a look at Carron ROC post near Archiestown, it's a lot nicer - as ROC posts go...

Ahh you should have gone down there Lost, I thought it was cool. :)

I'm not a great fan of ROC posts even when they're intact. :p

Shun, shun him!
/shuns
:P

I imagine posting stuff like that on here will result in me being burned in a giant wicker ROC post t-bar key.

:lol:
*Hi-5's*

Mine was moist, untidy, smelly, had an advanced fungal infection and had been violated by generations of local teenagers.
