After no sleep, me and 3 other none members got up and drove down to Lostock, got there quite early (3:45am) didn't hang about, got straight to an access point and got in (side-note, climbing up walls after no sleep isn't the best idea!) spent a good couple hours in here n got loads of footage.. Enjoy.. (Photo's aren't that good but deal with it )​

It's amazing that it's still there, it's been empty a long time this place. Nicely captured.
