What a place, im not going to put history on here is most people know all about this place and what it was intended for.

After a meet in browns and some words being exchanged, we knew it wasn't to be missed, the first time we were stuck just like fishbrain, a mere 3 or 4 inch gap to peer through, a tantalizing glimpse into a dark corridor, reluctantly we headed back out before dawn, we knew we were coming back, soon, 3/4 days later i was back again, i wasnt gonna let it get away again, this time i got in, but the guys i was with didn't, a mooch on my own didn't get me too far inside before again, dawn was upon us and it was time for me to get out, Burlington is not a particularly welcoming place when you are on your own!

Fast forward to the next weekend, me and maniac arrived on the site, this was it, i would finally see that fucking telephone exchange that had eluded me all these years (not through lack of trying!)

Those write ups you see where the guys say they only had 500ml of water between them and you think to yourself....who would be stupid enough to do that??........yeah....this was one of those times.....:angry2:

Massive massive props to fishbrain for starting all of this, what a chap! There are still a few heads that want to see this, but bumped into fortknox0 and gadget on their way out at like 2am, hahaha, so thats some off the list.

Well, enough rambling!

What an epic place, never have experienced such sleep deprivation, i slept in the canteen for about 10 minutes then literally passed out at the top of the shaft, on the saturday we had driven back to reading then changed our minds, gone back to wiltshire and went to see Vdubz, Maniac got some shut eye but i felt bad for dropping in on him when we hadnt seen him in a while, so i got maybe 30 mins sleep then we went out and went down again, i literally felt like death when we came out, that was pure evil hahaha.

This place carries an addiction with it, i will never see this place enough times.

:D!
