No cynicism at all just want to go but not travelling all the way from Manchester if the fuzz are on top of it. Funny just got back from Italy and we did one of these 14 out of 14 explores it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

How far into demolition are they? I heard the conveyors came down in December.

You get any pics of your approach to it through the docks? Was just curious if anything else had been knocked down yet, other than the conveyors.

I keep parring this off each time I go Edinburgh way. If it's still about I need to crack it

The door that I went into (NOTE I am not saying anyone else used this or any other door) time and time again is now closed - I have checked the whole building over several times and I cannot see any other way in.

The last couple of times I was there, there were no police and no one around - its quite easy to get to the building without being caught, however there is a large open area that is very exposed and you are best to run from there to the building - it does involve moving over two roads - not the busiest of roads but there is a chance that someone may drive past.

Sadly I think that there is no way inside the building now
