Today Zerocool Kuroneko and I was the day we did Steetly mag site as Zercool had a few days off and I am a doley bum at the moment 
I have seen reports before of the large basins of coloured water and decided to go. 10 am was supposed to be our set off time but to a calamity of errors i:e Zerocool lost his cap for his cars water bottle so had to improvise with a coke bottle AKA Squirrelbodge (tm) til we got a proper cap. We got there at 2pm.
Access was easy and we had a few good shots round there.
Anyhow you dont go to Steetly without going up the chimney do you? Zerocool didnt want to do it because of his "discolegs" 
This was a bit of a monkey to do (no wonder they are called Monkeyhangers) First stage was fun but someone has taken away the metal landing to the next set of ladders so I had to shimmy along a bit of the RSJ to get to the rest of them. Once past that it was just a filthy climb to the top.
Looking down
Across to the cranes.
Looking across the open bowls with their distinctive colours.
Hi folks can you see me
Now I have climbed a few chimneys but not got as dirty as I did today and I was wondering why this one was soo filthy, I found out half way down because I could hear voices of kids messing around in the base. They were building a big ole bonfire in the base of the chimney right below the ladders I used to get up in the first place
How suprised were they when I came down!! Nice lads to chat to asking what the view was like etc and I left them to it. As I was walking away I looked behind me.
Well if your going to light a fire make it a big smokey bugger!! there was tyres aplenty on there and I am glad they didnt light it while I was up there.
On the whole a great day out and no doubt Zerocool and Kuroneko will add there pics.
