Clipstone Colliery Nottinghamshire, this has been my second visit here, the first time we didn't get to do the headstock so this took priority on this explore another on site for 5.30am start but with the fine weather this made it all well worth it the sun rise was fantastic at the the top.There were five of us at the top so it made shooting up there a bit of a challenge but i think we all came away happy with having done it, just need to do the other one now, visited oldskool hidden shadow kitty and bugsuperstar. Since the last visit more of the site has been trashed and pillaged..such a shame.
