GT Manor - The Return - March 2013

Having had the good fortune of seeing this place last year I always said I would go back having MISSED the best room in the building! Don't ask, but I swear the door to it was locked when I first went.

This visit, with Shot_in_the_Dark, saw us head straight to this room, and hence a lot of my photos are from here. We also got to see a few new bits that were otherwise unavailable last time.

All in all a good day's explore with great company, and I'm very pleased I went back. I really thought we would get busted though, the fresh snow there had mine and SITD's foot prints leading from the gate down to the House right past the lived in part, it was so obvious we were inside.



You can just about see our foot prints on the far left of this photo...





























Erm, how did this sneak in to my report? Ok, today is the first day I've added
a daft HDR photo to one of my reports I wont do it again, probably!







































Ok, lets head down into the cellars... (I missed this too last time, but nothing down here!)















Bye!





Now Shot_in_the_Dark wil come along and post his and show me up

Cheers

Very nicely done there mate! The "room" looks outstanding... really need to see it myself! The HDR shot is very subtle too, nicely done

Very nice, still looks pretty much as it did 2 years ago.

The bloke who lives in the converted bit is ok, I bumped into him once as I was leaving and had a bit of a chat with him about the place, the owners live in the converted stable block at the back.

I actually like the kitchen shots, still looks like it's mostly original!
