Great pics Kevin - the Limax maximum ones have come out really well.
What are the ruined buildings in the last few pics - they look at lot like the old colliery buildings we have locally to me in the Forest of Dean. I really enjoy exploring these and the old railways which linked them all.

Thanks Kevin - think in another life I would have been an industrial archaeologist! There is a lot of literature on the collieries in the Forest of Dean - its amazing comparing the landscape when they were in operation to what it is now and figuring out which ruined bit was which part of the photographs of the collieries when they were working.

Oh that's awful. I looked through the pics and thought really wonderful wildlife areas you got there. Sad to hear yet another sanctuary is only a memory.
