My first report since the re-opening of 28 days. So to start with a little story. Lost and myself decided to go on a road trip down to England in may. It was a long way and thanks again to Lost for doing all the driving
We started off at dinner time and by 2 am with the wrong directions of the sat nav we found ourselves in a layby near Morpeth. After a few hours of sleeping in the car we headed on to St Georges.
Well unfortunately we could not find an easy enough access so just had a look round the exterior then were on our way. Next we headed onwards for St Marys and fortunately thanks to Gorecki we were in within minutes
so here are some of my photos from there :-
Who's first..?
Ring Ring..Hello? Yes hi..do you do mullets?
Downstairs ward
Upstairs ward
Poor misty
Main Hall
Projector room
Canteen/indoor garden
Love this corridor
Mortuary
Finally Admin
On exiting the mortuary we saw the security walking towards us with a ladder, they kindly asked us to leave so we did swiftly.
We were then on the road again, we went to Cherry Knowle but i bailed out of going inside as we heard smashing etc and didnt want to get the blame.
More driving and we arrived at High Royds, what an amazing site!! After seeing so many photos i was dying to get inside! Unfortunately it wasnt our day..we only found access to one small building which didnt lead anywhere as the corridor was sealed off
we had a look round the outside but didnt gain access to anymore
We left Royds and headed for Hartlepool for the famous ghost ships, on arriving we went for a recce, wow!! is all i can say!! We decided to get a hotel as the car didnt seem like a good idea. Hotel booked, food ate and we were on our way for the ships. Well!!! More bad luck!!
We parked in the industrial estate, and headed for the ships, almost there and we saw security heading for the ships so we hid for a while. THEN we see a police van drive towards where the car is parked theeen it didnt come out
: oh dear! So we decided to go back to the car. On walking round to the car we were welcomed with the sight of 2 police officers from the nuclear station, one with an M16 at this point i was bricking it, imagining spending the night in a cell, they asked us a heap of questions under the great new anti terrorist law!! Two blokes from the north east of Scotland! Terrorists?! anyway luckily they just took our details, done a lot of check ups then we were let go, pheeeeoow!!
