Today was a bit of a disaster so far as my plans went, I had a long ride on the bike planned but 15m in "bang" my derailleur hanger snapped leaving me with a tedious journey home with a botched repair!
Hey Ho what to do with the rest of the day? Well I went for a walk.
A "walk" not an explore but decided to take a closer look round Deansthorpe where I had pretty much ended my ride earlier. I noticed there are a lot of buildings still standing here but cant find any reports so wasn't expecting much.
A quick bit of research before assured me the ROC was closed tight with concrete blocks on top so I was excited to find it completely open!
Not a lot in there tbh but its in excellent condition. Most the ceiling tiles are still in place. there is very little graffiti & the paintwork on the cupboards is like new. I hope it stays like it!
The WW2 stuff is all pretty empty too as expected (apart from a few startled sheep & some farm equipment) but there is quite a few Nissen huts & various size & shape brick buildings which Im sure someone can tell me what they all were?
There was a rather nice old bulldozer tucked away too which interested me/
The full history is here, but hope u find this a bit interesting.
