Carpet was slightly damp
Tbar Seized
Sump Sezed
Water in Sump

THERE IT IS!!

Now - considering i had to crawl it wasnt going to be easy to get stuff out of there. What the hell was i going to do? I didnt have to think - because TripleSix arrived with his ----------- CHAINSAW!

We cut through from a field at the side - so not to draw attention to it from the main road.

Loads Left! (look away from the beam!)

We did eventually get the shelves - although we had to take them apart and that took ages fail as all the bolts were rusty.

After about an hour and a half we set off for my post, where it started pouring terrentially, Triple Six nearly killed us in the thick fog avoiding a motorbike and veering towards a wall. We didnt get my post painted or cemented because of the rain.

It took about ten mins trying to get up the track to my post aswell because of the mud lol but we did it.

We got the lights working as well.

Then on the way home TripleSix Skidded down the track and nearly crashed his Landy lol.

An eventfull day - Cheers TripleSix

K! (thats problys the longests ROC report ever lol)

ps. (weve concealed the entrance to Croft with all the cut back jungle weeds - no doubt theyll have grown back within a week )
 
Get permission to get those coats safe. They're ripe for thieving by 'others'.

Already got the salvageable ones. There was some on the floor which were minging - but the ones on the back of the door are in the dry cleaners as I type this lol. The church commisioner said I could take whatever - so if it's there and looks rare - it's being preserved.
 
Here we are on this forum always banging on about safety when on explores and then someone posts photos of a chap using a chainsaw without any safety gear on at all.Scares the crap outa me that does having seen what a chainsaw can do to unprotected flesh.

Apart from the tool in the picture is a hedge trimmer :lol:
 
Aye its a Hedgecutter, I was wearing gloves....
I'm a lot more careful with the Chainsaw, I have a full helmet, visor and ear protectors, not to mention steel toed boots...

I was surprised to find 3 dead mice in the corner of this post, maybe one preggers one fell down the shaft or came down a vent shaft?
Looks like they didn't survive for long on a diet of ROC artefacts.
They obviously couldn't find the tin-opener for the rations....
 
Is there any chance of getting a google maps coordinates for this place?
