visited with havoc and thenewmendoza.
while we were in the area we thought we would pay a visit to the silos at the former british sugar plant at kidderminster, these silos must be nearly 230ft high and they were my first ever silo climb.
the silos were covered in (obviously
) sugar and the whole place stunk of a mixture of old sugar, rat shit AND pidgoen shit, they were not the most pleasent place i have ever been. before we attempted the climb we explored the old production area underneath and found a ladder leading into the bottom of one of the silos, well it would have been rude not to take a peek!!
the silos on the approach!! check these beasts out!!
the silo floor
the roof of the beast, viewed from the inside!!
cage covering the access hatch
anyhow, that done we headed for the roof, it was a long sticky climb dodging holes in the floor and missing handrails but finally we reached the top of the beasts!! and WOW the view was stunning, this was an amazing place, sadly soon to be demolished, anyhow enough of my ramblings and on with the pics!!
this was really a great explore top top off an excellent evening!!
