Nice hot explore, we did have some odd moments with some people on quad bikes from the sound of it

and some dogs running around :mrgreen:

We were there near 5 hours, but still missed parts of it didnt find the morgue or chapel area

Here's some of our pics.

Seen better days...

Lunch for the spiders

Lovely Colours

Attack of the bat's trying to get this picture :icon_evil

Here is the little devil, his friend was somewhere close

Bats are protected, its a good thing maybe you got a shot because when redevelopers move it they will have to re-house them...the spiders on the other hand...DAMNN that looked f big, glad I wasn't there even to witness that part :lol:

They are planning on keeping a couple of the current buildings as sealed bat roosts.

Love the photo with the green and yellow paint flakes on the floor...they look like leaves. Awwwww! Sweet bat. :mrgreen:

Good stuff!

Thanks for all the comments

its near Bristol, anyone know when they are planning to start work on the site ?
Hmmm as for the bat being cute ... I didnt think that at the time lol ... it was more of a AHHHH as i ran out the room! and keeping as low to the floor as possible, as for Si he was more concerned about his camera which was still in the room ... no way i was going back in there for it!!! lol
