Report - Rooftopping Manchester - July 09

[Solomon]

Visited with: Moorsy

This was one hell of a day out in Manchester. There are lots of places I
Just hadn't got around to doing and before I go back to work I wanted to do as
many as I could. Just so happened Moorsy was free all day too and Im glad
he got in touch with me because he really made it a fantastic day.

Anyway we got through 5 sites and almost got a 6th one in but had to foul on account of an alarming alarm sound.

Heres the pics, hope you like.

That camera looking through the window - am sure that is an online webcam isn't it? It's not the BBC one though I don't think.

What's cheaper, an alarm system or a poster?

Yeah but I'm not willing to risk it...has anyone actually tried it?

Worst case the alarm goes off, and you run away. Go and do it.
