    Arrow Rank Hovis Mill 29/09/2010

    Right dunno why im putting this up really,was pitch black pissing it down didnt get in the part of the building that had nice open spaces ..or to be honest climb up higher places..me boots have fallen apart and torch light is a major issue at 9pm..would have loved some shots to show the scale of the place from the outside but it was very dark and a last resort just to have done something as our dover mission got postponed!!so i apologise about some of the pics they really are not my best,but did what we could a neighbour basically saw us climb in so we went back to the car had a chat and he was kewl..but wasnt the longest of trips i must admit!



































    Right not my best report by far but considering i live down the road i should have done this a long time ago and in daylight!

    I used to do it a long time ago in daylight but now stick to pitch black as it conceals the wrinkles

    Good pics all the same

    i like picture 10 mate. its a wevsky lol. Shame you didnt get into the main part as you was pretty much standing below it. From your pictures i assume access is as usual now though and not as easy as it was last year when every door was open lol.
    Defo one to do in the day although i think with the right photos then this place would have a certain charm at night. good effort and atleast you still got out and didnt let the rain stop ya
