I hit this site up with Cloughy some time ago when we got onto the Britannia drilling platform

Fast forward 4 years(!) and we decided a revisit was in order to see what delights were available. The site is very much live with 24hr workers and security patrols. There were another 2 rigs/platforms which we set our sights on - but there was far too much work happening on deck. Although we did manage to access the old offices / dorms / kitchens that were originally on board a boat called the 'North Sea Producer'. Info on the boat if interested... http://www.northseaproducer.com/about.html
The usual ducking and diving ensued as we made our way across the site. A number of 'walks of faith' with no shadow or hiding ground, fully floodlit, hoping that the patrol wasn't making its way around the corner in the 4x4.
Close but no cigar...
With too much happening on the rigs, we headed over to another unit which seemed worthy of a look...
The unit was in fact the old dorms, kitchens offices etc for the 'North Sea Producer' mentioned above. Pic of the boat it used to be on nicked from the net...
Starting from the top we tried all doors on all levels, with the final door being the one giving us access into the kitchens!
Cloughy on a piss break, nice to see the toilets still flushing!...
Can't beat a bit of dress up!!!...
It's been a while - good to get out again!! Thanks for looking.
