Cotgrave ROC post - Notts group - March '08

[Mr Sam]

yet another roc from me



short walk off the road up a hedgeline some of the concrete posts of the compound remain as does half of the gate there is also a trig point within the compound. the hatch is inside the post and a makeshift one has been chained to the ladder restricting access, the vent shaft has part of the coping missing

inside its heavily fire damaged (hope the fookers got torched ) but theres a bunk bed and single bed

possibly the darkest post ive been in i thought my torch was on the blink

even tomtom couldnt find this one :crazy

couldnt budge it from that position, looks to of been welded at some point to

the vent shaft

random trig point in the undergrowth :crazy

ahhh ORB

someone was in the toilet

the pump

time for that squeeze again

Such a shame its been torched like that, Ive only got down 1 local 1 so far and thats still in good nick for now although not much in there, hope to visit some more when i get the chance.

Good work getting thru that gap, dont think i'd have managed that lol

nice one, Mr Sam,
looks worth the tight squeeze, to get the pics. what would the pump have been for? do they all tend to have them?

there is a grate at the bottom of the ladder
the pump emptys the water out of there.
think its if the hatch is open.

The one i visited and all the ones ive seen in pics seem to have them. Its for dealing with any water that gets in by any means.
