Great Ayton ROC Post - (Yorkshire Group) - December 2011

[Krypton]

1991 Closure. Visited with TripleSix.
Status: Open.

I pass this on the way to our post every time and for two years havent stopped and looked! So we thought we'd check it out.
It isnt so much chavved - just very very very damp. I had spoken to the ex C/Obs who said it was always damp and prone to flooding.


Well, it seems an attempt had been made to cut back the undergrowth - resulting in the vent shaft being partially demolished.
Inside is just a total mess. Your feet squelch as you step, dirty smelly water oozing up. The place absolutly stunk. Everything is ruined. There was a small hand made sign bearing the post name, group and number etc which i wanted to take for Chop Gate, but it appears it may have fell into the dirty water and there was no way on gods earth i was putting my hand in it.
Overall, disgusting. Shame, as there would have been lots to see.

With the hatch being off as well im not surprised its like that, could it not be re attached?

[Krypton]

No its really mangled. i did try to get it down a bit better but it was getting dark and i was all ROC'd out by then, i will be passing some time soon so i might see if i can put a rock on the top of it or something

It was awful, i suspect the water has been higher
