Not long in receivership had to be done as last of its kind what we found was a big surprise. We originally visited a number of years ago but forgotten till recently and seen by one of my exploring partners. Would have been rude not to see it .

It was at this point one of the guys had to head, so i walked him back out with the view to planking my ladders. So just dumped them up at the transformer station up at the woods, unfortunately we suspect on a guard change they walk up the hill stairs and found my ladders(since replaced ) he didn't do that during the night. After leaving us Me Cuban and Scatter found a room to get a few hours kip(security driving slowly by with his torch as we dropped off). We woke up just as daylight was appearing dull and overcast and Yes!. Security where driving by same as when we dropped off, Cuban had managed to find a Quilt (he did not share with the other bears :
