My first "proper" asylum experience and I loved every minute of of it! The place was huge and we've by no means covered it all.
The comedy began at daft o'clock in the morning when I sent a text to my exploring companion Crashmatt saying that i would be almost an hour later than the time we agreed due to me forgetting that the clocks went forward.......luckily the reply came back "don't worry, i forgot too!"
After meeting up we thought we would try the "direct route" and wander down one of the access roads, now bearing in mind it was first thing and was still dark "who would be around at this time" was the thought!
Well we were only a few yards down the road before a security guy on a motorbike about to start his shift collared us! Cue amateur dramatics of an excuse combined with arm flailing and he just told us to be on our way........looks like we were going in the back way!
