Report - Croft ROC Post - Yorkshire

Re: Croft ROC Post - Yorkshire - Report

The sump pump looks in good condition but it's stuck solid. If anyone wants to take it apart and free it up, it shouldn't be too difficult.

But I honestly think this will just dry out by itself. That hatch hasn't been on properly in over a year and the water is still only just below the top of the shaft grate. Its totally surrounded by the densest and nastiest bushwhack that will keep rain off it anyway and, considering how much rain there has been over the past two years up here, the ground all around the area is well drained and actually bone dry around the post.

It's tied down now with plastic coated wire bond. It will stay like this until someone else visits it. All you have to do to get it to stay down is pull the counterweight up first.

And Mexico75. Dude, I walk around dressed like that ALL THE TIME!

I wouldn't normally but it seems like you're trying and you might be getting some bad info. Trust me, it is in there.

Be careful with the hatch, it's liable to fly up and catch you on the noggin. To get it closed again, lift up the counterweight first and it will fall into place.

Indeed

I'd spent ten minutes messing about trying to PM but Demble can't receive them. I do have a soft spot for this ROC Post, though. My first explore was on this place.

Re: Croft ROC Post - Yorkshire - Report

To be fair, its a good post, it has plenty of artifacts left over, and the only problem is the mould, water and lack of ventilation. Given a day or two of TLC and it would be pucker again...
