My first ever walkabout, but now I am hooked and am searching for more and more places to visit. Please excuse the quality of the pictures, they were taken using my phone whilst walking the dog with a seven year old in tow.

The approach.

Its the same from when Madmax and I did it last year. There are some experiments with the water dropping in from Bradford uni so I guess they need access.

I never ventured down there I had images of social services having a field day on me, so I plan on going back without the boy shortly.
