Coads Green Roc Post Cornwall May 2008

[*MrB*]

Well being fairly local to us, it seemed rude not to go and check this out.

Myself, Lycos and Emily (my GF) ventured out into the sticks. I had researched the area and had a fair idea of location. After tackling the in field security, namely some inquisitive cows, sheep and a friendly lamb we were in the vicinity.

Up top, the condition was failry good and some original features remain. Down below, no chav damage or vandalism and only minor signs of decay. All in a all a good visit and a good ROC Post

Good post as usual MrB, nice to get into one after visiting a couple now,
That lamp didn't seem too freindly to me by the amount of butting it was doing! haha,
anyway, on with the pics...

Looking out through the Orlit door after a bit of a climb...

I like that shot up the FSM pipe to the outside world . With the top cover off it, lucky it's not more damp down there!

Thanks guys,

Yeah was in pretty good nick, got a bit freaked by strange noises once inside, turned out to be a cow breathing over the pipe, could just make out its nose when I looked up it, that's what inspired the pic Andy...lol,
Thanks for the comments...
Lycos.
