The Chapel
We got in to the chapel and heard footsteps above us, I went up to investigate and found another 2 explorers from another site. Seemed like nice guys.
We heard a transit van pull up outside the front door and move some of the Harris rails - The 5 of us stood dead still for a few minutes :lol:

Such a great place aint it. If I ask 'did you see the space invaders machines and tunnels?' will you kick yourself and want to go back again? :lol:

MrDan · Jan 9, 2013

Did not see the tunnels but it was starting to get dark when I left. Explorer101 stayed a bit longer and she said she found an old games console and pokemon cards, but I will be heading back with sweet pea anyway lol.

cheers OMJ, did you see your names are still on the black board? I was gonna send you the pic via pm but you've seen the report now

My Pictures (PIC HEAVY)

Considering I had 500 odd photos I don't think I did to bad condensing them down to 33, couldn't get them any lower! I have also decided that i was going to make the pictures a bit smaller so they can fit happily in an already picture heavy thread.

Instead of giving you a history of the place that you have already read about I was going to tell you about the orbs found in my pictures and a lil information of them.*

His name is SIR DUSTY, he is a friendly fellow who enjoys making people sneeze. You can see where Sir Dusty has previously been by the thick layers of dusty in places. Occasionally you can spot him in some pictures. He died in the 1900s when he got too drunk one night and drowned in a pool of dust that he was playing in.

*None of this may be true, its just reflections heheheh
