Parts of the climb are a little dodgy if i am honest, but then when i went we didn't take the normal route up to the top lol

and this strange basement, first i have heard

EDIT - i think the boiler house may be RIP too

Whilst we were there the roof had gone from the boiler house and the interiors had all been cleaned (to remove the asbestos). But it was still standing... just.

All the best,
Simon

Yeah, the over head pictures i have show the muncher going through the roof

Brilliant pics Simon, and an even better write up. Hearing about every step on each floor as you made your way up to the top was great reading.

Excellent work. Thank you.

gorgeous write up there simon. they're working on that place rather quickly... sad in a way seeing as i can remember going there with so many folk. (nearly every weekend at one point. )

nice views from the top too btw.

Great read as always when I check out your stuff!

I may not of been a regular to the 'Hill' but glad I did get to see it with Mr. Bones (and the rest of the motley crew), especially after reading and viewing all the info on your site. I suspect there going to be a lot of people who'll really miss this place! If I remember rightly theres even a certain someone with a large tattoo of the plan of Cane Hill (like in your diagram) on their back...now thats dedication!

Just to echo everyone else's comments -you've done well -and hopefully anyone who does not approve of Urban Exploration will read your report and see what it's really all about

Great work. Pleased to hear that you finally made it back for one last visit.

P.s. -I wait with baited breath to see those Cellar pics! :radar:

superb write up as always Simon, this is the kind of quality I'm hoping for in the wiki!

Hint hint?!!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I've always wanted to climb the water tower and figure it out - I didn't expect it to be so much 'fun' getting to the roof though.

I'll get the story of the mysterious underground rooms posted here soon. Don't get too excited - but it's a fun story and if we hadn't have investigated it then I would've always been wondering about them.

All the best,
Simon

What an awesome read.I've never been up the water tower there but I don't really feel the need to especially after reading this it describes the ascent so well.It must still feel pretty special to have a bird's eye view over the hill.
