Absolutely, and Dalzell isn't exactly a tiny site either!

That didn't quite go to plan...

Red Road? Red neck!

Could be a bit of a nightmare to clear that up.

Red Road tomorrow, then.

Is anybody going for a look? Where would be good vantage point?

Excellent footage from your DJI Lawman, what one is it btw? Thanks Scott, it's just the Phantom 1, I like it, it's nice to fly and I like the basic nature of it. Great photos, always good to see the site back when it was in use. That security booth is still there, just on its side in the middle of ...

Closing down sale, ie, reducing the prices to "steep" I'm surprised they have been able to stay open as long Their prices weren't that bad. Yeah, you could always browse and buy cheaper on the internet, but it was one of very few places which still had a time-warp appeal, which, for me, w...

It's not very dramatic, but it sure is a pretty novel way of demolishing a building
