first off huge thankyou to Saigon Ob and Thompski for letting me tag along and show me around what an amazing site IMO so much climbing to be done :mrgreen: cant really capture on camera the sheer scale of some of the buildings and the locker room is a right gem!

thanks again guys :)
 
id go back just for that Thompski kept mentioning it and the fading light so we made it a priority and were not dissapointed, took so many self portraits :lol:
 
Another three hours at this vast industrial site, and well worth it, and there was probably another 10% to look at easily!

Well played to Thompski for finding this AMAZING find and it was nice to meet Mr Sam...Great evening out guys thanx.
 
Fantastic site and photos guys...great to see more of it. Love the real dirty industrial feel of the place. Massive place, great brickwork and love those work-benches and the lockers. Nice! :mrgreen:
 
it's a great place isn't it? loved all those lockers, that's the first time i've seen lockers in such excellent condition on an explore.

Love all the pics from you all. Not sure I'd have climbed up that ladder tho, (that may have been the one TnM climbed up as I was trying to amuse my 4 year old at the bottom, or trying to keep her quiet :lol:

Excellent pics guys and girl.

:) Sal
 
It is a fantastic place, I have had the pleasure of taking pictures of the site so many times, but unsure whether I will be allowed to post pictures on here for other reasons, let me contact the moderators and then we will see.
