Report - Gainsthorpe cement works 04\04\07

[tims]

Explore with tunnel lover today, this site was very active and we had to wonder around for some time before going in undetected. Some of the hills to the rear we walked over were like rock but its just where cement dust had settled and gone hard but it was only very thin so you could brake it with ease(very strange) also the whole building had a coating of hard cement from wind deposits.
Due to people on site and a lack of ladders in some places we had to climb a lot to get to parts of the building and at one point we dropped down about 12ft from a floor above only to find now way out and had to climb back up
Our exit was funny as we just ran straight across the middle of the site.
This is a cool explore and i should of done it sooner as its only up the road
