Long title that one, been a busy evening.
Firstly, Hi, names Adrian. Urban Explorer from Manchester along with Scott (Userscott). Couldn't think of a better way to introduce ourselves than with some pictures from our latest visits.
Firstly, a mini-one. Premier Travel Inn, Manchester. Just opposite the MEN arena. Used the rooftop to get this picture of the Beetham Tower building (Hilton Hotel)

So after getting up there, and looking at that picture, the natural progression would have to be the photos subject. Especially seen as it's the tallest structure in Manchester. It's only natural we want to get higher :)
We had both previous reccied the place and reached the final floor before the roof. However with a blocked path and NO intention of causing any criminal damage, we called it a night intent on coming back better equiped.
Which we did, 4 more people strong than how we usually travel. On a Saturday night, with more bouncers and people coming in and out of the building than you could shake a stick at! (Club 'Cloud 23' on the 23rd floor, brand new, lot of attention!)
So after passing through the lovely lobby

22 floors in a lift, and the remaining (upto 50) on foot via maintenance stairways...

At the bottom of the sign it says "No Sightseers!"

And that was that. Left quietly, got in the car, and set off for Mayfeild.
