Real nice to see the St Barts shots ( I know this has nowt to do with the thread). Although yours are much better, majority of the shots echo a lot of mine I took a few weeks ago. Sam's scout group went up there and I got the chance to take a shed load. On a side note, I got the vicar, father tom, to show me the medievil gold and silverwear that they use occasionally for certain services. The safe is pigging massive. I bet you aint seen father toms jewels!!!!!

There were also 2 stairwells on Victoria street leading down to the toilets and arches. They've long since been filled in and paved over. The toilets closed in 1967. If you look at my post again you can see an arial shot were the stairwell used to be. The road runs over the top were they were these days. If you can figure out how we got in there Simon you are one amazing man.. I'm still laughing my head off how we did it. It's so ingenious lol I'm always up for a challenge, Phill. I'll have another look and try and figure it out! Ok mate.. It might be best you mail me if you think your close.. This remains a biggie secret lol Oooooooooooooooooooooh!

Nice shots of your companion too LOL.. I really like the mad bugger tag Chamaleon Your a fan of Kanpai girl (Louise) then chamaleon? She's not my lady friend b.t.w Cheers! Was someone getting close Phill? Looks like you've felt it prudent to do a little editing. Rather miss those delightful abseiling shots
