The first stop of my recent England road trip, having driven through the night to try get here for the sunrise, I arrived very early in the morning with JFR (my Scottish exploring buddy).
The goal of this trip was too conquer the roadside headstock, after climbing to around 20feet from what I thought was the entry point to the roadside platform I was greeted with a vertical shaft with no more ladders. Having squeezed up what must have been 100+ feet of bird shit, nests, dead pigeons, buckets of grease and debris, it was obvious it was not going to be possible with my backpack on. Another visit will have to be made.
So it was decided to climb to the easier headstock, but was also too late once we got there for proper sunrise pics.
As the weather was much nicer than the last time we visited, I took the tripod up and whacked on the fisheye to have a bit of fun up top
As this was JFR's first trip here we took a quick wander around the buildings, see if you can spot him creeping around
Thanks for looking
