Visited this with Bryag a couple of nights back, we believed it to be sealed, so it was just to be a quick case of documenting it from the outside...
When we got to the post, we discovered the welds were a real half-assed job, and had failed completely
So we opened 'er up :
I was about to clamber in, when eagle-eyed Bryag noticed something was missing
Some git had made off with the pump, and more importantly, the ladder
We're nothing if not determined though, so I got some rope, and some wood, a couple of days later we returned, et voila :
Access was ours
Given that the pump and ladder were gone, we expected this to be completely stripped out...
There was a bit of smell, 3 dead rabbits lived here
Imagine my delight upon descending into the darkness to see a red light blinking at me in the Post - a working t*****k
(picture is deliberately under-exposed, to show light )
This was a first for me, seen a few of these, but never one connected and working Yes, we tried it, no, no-one came
Next to it was this fella :
Old-school t******k, this post was turning into a real gem, especially after the initial impressions.
Poignant last message from the Corps :
Home-made stuff, we suspect this was still 'live' though the battery was goosed, probably just as well, or Lord knows what we'd have tried
Glitto
Sounds like fun :
Good old BT
Looking back :
Peach of a post, that working t******k really made it for me, as well as seeing the old one
