Gigawatt Power Station<\/p><\/div>\n

Not a great deal of information on this gigantic abandoned Power Station which is currently undergoing decommissioning. After seeing a couple of reports from some close friends we decided to throw this onto our list for the trip, the first location in fact as an early start seemed appropriate. We approached in the dark, got a couple of externals and made our way inside for daybreak. I’m glad we went early because after exploring the main turbine house and spending an hour or so checking out the rooftops, before we were able to move on to some other buildings we were interrupted… Andy was on the ground floor while I was up on the gantry taking a shot of the main interior when i got a call “workers!” cue the lengthy 1 hour ninja exit which saw us narrowly avoid capture multiple times before bumping into another group of explorers who were on their way in to play cat and mouse with the contractors :). So much fun, this place was immense!<\/p>\n
