Looks like the nearest they could get was the footbridge over the Ring Road looking on-line They could have done better.

But they got there. Looking at the state of that soddened chipboard decking, it's not agood place to be.

Man on the spot indeed Chameleon. Excellent work recording this lot.I'm interested to know what they do with the ball on top on the pyramid. It's 'rumoured' to have small traces of plutonium in it. I've really no idea why?The council guy was telling me when he showed me up there.

Isn't there a North Korean plutonium plant on the site?(Checks yEP for headlines)
