The Model Map42 viewsIf every cloud has a silver lining - this site's is that the sales centre (where they are desperately trying to flog off their new houses) has very detailed models and maps of where we are!
We talk with the salesman for a while, he tells us that when the project first started each flat was for sale for at least £140,000... Today he was pushing us to take one for £100,000 and I got the impression we could have talked him down. Economic Recession = a buyer's market.
Anyways, looking at this cute wee model (with the listed buildings in white), I identified the following:
1 - The original administration building
2 - The medical superintendent's residences
3 - The kitchens
4 - The original X-Ray pavilion and wards (http://www.turbozutek.f2s.com/thumbnails.php?album=60)
5 - The Acute Admissions (Triage) building
6 - The Panda Centre
7 - The Women and Children Unit
8 - Ross House (the subject of today's assize)
* - Fuck knows, these currently don't exist or have been knocked down.

Awaiting Access255 viewsWith some new members to the standard team tonight, we cautiously wait alongside the nurses' accommodation.
The coast looks and sounds clear...
|
|
Ravens From A Distance129 viewsI was in Irvine on another job, so decided to head back to RavensPark for a look.
This visit is going to be slightly different, I'm spending no longer than 10 minutes and I'm shooting on nothing more than my SE Camera Phone. I couldn't bear to spend longer among the once great buildings, now reduced to... well... have a look.
|
|
The Water Tower252 viewsThe Water Tower sulks above us, blocking out the moonlight and casting shadows on us as we walk past it.
|
|
Central Quad92 viewsThe site is massive - 100m after 100m of production line, offices, laboratories and manufacturing units.
|
|
Read-Out346 viewsHmmm... It's a worry!
|
|
Chimney Middle127 viewsWe are in!
On the left and right can be seen the giant internal (brick) tubes of the chimney itself... We proceed upwards... 1000+ stairs to go!

Her Majesty The Lamp221 viewsShe fixes her beady eye on us, evaluating us... Does she sound the alarm?? Grass us up??
Not this time.
|
|
The Pool39 viewsClose up of the pool... The light in here wasn't too good, so I helped it out with a torch a little!
I'd get some photo's inside the pool, but it's about 10foot deep and some-one's knicked the ladder. :-(
As Neds arrive on site to further smash the place up, we make a discreet exit.
|
|
Down The Hall31 viewsRow after row after row of empty rooms off this corridor. The floor above, the same - the floor below; near identical.
The clean out of this facility was 100% perfect (unlike the Panda centre): literally nothing of any interest whatsoever has been left behind.

Upstairs Corridor of Doom277 viewsI have to get over this somehow...
How am I going to do it???
Veeerrryyy fucking carefully, that's how!!
|

Tripod Guards254 viewsMy Tripod Watches me as I carefully traverse the lethal floor of doom!!!
If I get into trouble, it will instantly and without fail continue to be a tripod; and do nothing in the way of assisting me. Tripods are such uncaring bastards.

Upstairs - Made It264 viewsA sigh of relief can be breathed, or is that the noise of the floor giving in!?
|
|
TBP Has A Plan27 viewsIt's soaking and the winds are threatening to blow us right off this roof. Damn. Shit. FUuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkk!!!
Climbing back down the dish is a 100% NO GO, now that it's completely soaked and wind swept. But how to get down off this rather tall roof?
TBP has an idea involving a left-over chunk of laddering, however.

The Conference Room37 viewsThrough the magic curtains: the Conference Room!
I'm gonna assume they were big into teleconferencing, because there isn't room for 10 people in here!!

Upstairs Invitation254 viewsBeyond the lethal landing is the door to the wards. It's calling me!
|

Upstairs Comfy Beds264 viewsLooks like someone had a nice lie down at some point in the past here. I don't recommend it now, unless your preferred early morning wake up call is falling through the floor!
|
|
Dead Baths172 viewsThe fantastic time travelling baths of our earlier adventures lie torn and dead.
Speaking of time, time's up; 10 minutes has gone and I'm going home... Depressed.

Penn Area - Penns185 viewsInside the giant Penn area. According to the signs on the walls, this floor alone had temporary capacity for 200 sheep and 100 cattle.

Lonely Light Switch295 viewsDon't lean over too far here - unlike the light switch, humans can't fly!
The photo' doesn't do this justice: this gave me Vertigo within 10 seconds... And I'm usually a fan of heights! :-S
