I love this place, I go running around the track on a regular basis. Its fantastically quiet. I managed to get up the tower last year, but left my camera at the bottom in my bag, its quite a view, but is pitch black on the way up, so I advise a torch (also in my bag) and a ladder.
Just so you know, HMS Gosling 5, in Glazebrook, has been demolished now, except for the theater building, which is now Glazebrook Conservative club. It is being restored by a building company, and the building is almost identical to the theater building at Croft (HMS Gosling 3)
If your local, I would advise a walk around the Glazebrook site. The site itself is split into 2 parts, and both parts are easily accessable, as dog walkers and kids use the ground.
Theres not much to see now, but you can still see the building foundations all over the place. They are visable on Google earth

I visited HMS Gosling 5 in early 2006, the report is here I don't know what happen to the pictures though!
Hi Saul,
Unfortunatly I didnt get to see the Camp at Glazebrook, as it had already been torn down, except for the thearter building, which is now the Glazebrook Social Club. Ive had a walk around both parts, as it is in 2 halves, but from what I could see, the most interesting parts that still exist are in peoples gardens across the road from the Social club.
Are you local to Warrington, as alot of your post are based in the area.

Just had a look. It's a shame the pics aren't available, but I wondered if it's something to do with the gallery we used to have on DP. Perhaps the pics went when the gallery was discontinued?

I think they were on my old Piczo site, all the pics on there seem to have disappeared.
