The day began with hamtagger and i en route to Derby Royal Infirmary. There were a few undesirable chaps there weilding bats so we left after an hour or so. I still got an alright partial report out of it though (Feel free to check it out 
)
On the way back home to Lincoln we decided to make the most of the sun and head to Nocton to finish the bits we hadn't seen before.
I'm struggling to find any pictures of Nocton back in the day, I'd like to do a comparison and see how it used to look...
The chair with two legs, probably quite hard to keep your balance on this one.
The arrow to nowhere, I'm curious to where it would have pointed to
The end of the line
The longest corridor I have ever had the pleasure of walking down
The basement fireplace with some light from the window
The place really is falling apart but I like the look of this one
I have no idea how or why this room is full of tyres.
Cobwebs on a door knob (That sounds like a song title)
This room is called the "Sterile Area" I'm glad I wasn't a patient
I've been told there were two of these. I wonder where the other one is
And finally, my favourite photograph I've taken so far. I think it looks awesome personally and it was an accident
Thankyou for taking time to read my report. To anyone considering Nocton for an Explore, go for it! It's a good place with a lot to see. The areas quiet too.
Thanks to hamtagger for driving us there.
I'll have another report up as soon as possible.
