Visited with Userscott, Vivo and Yaz.
I remember the original thread for this and it was quite possibly the most anticipated report to be seen on here. Now that more people have had the chance to see it with lots of hard work, it was now my chance. I only had a small window of free exploring time before I had to be back in Somerrrrset but last night was the night for fun. The last week had been a big mix of silly working hours and trying to find a place to live so a nice challenging explore was what I needed
I rolled up to chez Scott late (as usual, stupid traffic) and we quickly got ourselves sorted and we were on our way.
Vivo, our token super notherner (not a midlander like Scott or a dirty queen-speaking southerner like me) had made lots of colourful magnetic LEDs for us to play with and stick to bits of ducting. Once we got in, we hid all our stuff so the rats wouldn't steal it. I didn't see any rats though
It was a fantastically hidden place full of little rooms to explore but THE SMELL! Oh my dears and ears and eyes! I've never smelt anything like it. It was horrible! I was also having camera issues and only a very yellowy maglite to paint with, hence the lack of good pics. I'd also forgotten my tripod so luckily Yaz was on hand to lend me his. The autofocus broke on my 10-20 as well but rest assured, I will be going back to Jessops wearing my angry face and a sharp tongue
But all in all, a fantastic night! Adventure is not the word, it was so much super scary fun that you could bottle it and sell it on for lots of dosh. So a big thanks to Userscott who made it all possible and everyone else for being great company. Also thanks to Snappel for bottling it coz there were more Smarties to share around
Why ayeee man! Cuppa teaaa like!!!

: I think something that is apparent with my photographs which isn't necessarily the case with most of the other photos from down here is that it is dark! The other guys have done such a great job lightpainting and illuminating the place that it looks amazing in the photos. You can't see it all quite as well going off a headtorch so it certainly feels much darker than it looks from the photos.
