Seeing Hippie Alien's recent post from this class spot reminded me I don't think I ever posted up a thread from this huge mill. So while I take a little bit of time out from exploring due to a couple of health issues (not going to be dropping dead, don't worry) I thought I might as well deliver one.
It was the last spot - and most anticipated - on one of mine and Landie Man's big roadtrips during 2015, and after parking up in the quiet village the mill is situated in we slipped and slid our way up and in. It quickly became apparent that getting around the building wasn't going to be an easy job with many locked and breezeblocked doors slowing progress. We ended up having to go to the very top floor of the main part of the mill to find the one unlocked door that would allow us into it's main floor areas, and the less said about the search for the way up into the 'epic' floor the better. We tried everything we could think of, as we knew we were within tantalising reach being just one floor below but it took us a good hour of running in circles to work it out. The sense of satisfaction when I popped my head out of the hatch and was confronted with a floor covered in dismantled machinery was immense
This floor is now comprehensively locked up sadly, but it was fun while it lasted. Given that it was directly adjacent to one of the active areas of the building separated only by a sliding metal door and the way in was incredibly noisy it's no wonder that they caught on eventually.
