    Default Inverkip Power Station, Inverclyde, December 2011.

    After meeting a few of you last night in Leeds, I thought i'd throw a few reports up. Here ya go

    For a while, SNC had been planning a trip north up to Inverkip. Due to commitments the trip has been put off and put off, from mid-summer until December...

    The day of our departure came around rather quickly for me and before I knew it, I was leaving work with a huge grin on my face.
    Fast forward a few hours and I'm in the car with Tweek and HiddenShadow chasing an SNC Tours mini bus around a roundabout....
    The van and car were readied and packed to the rafters at HiddenShadow's gaff, before Myself, Tweek, HS, Millhouse, Gone, Sho, Fishbrain and DrHowser all jumped into our selected vehicles and hit the road.

    After battling with motorway closures, snow and freezing temperatures, we were still nowhere near Inverkip, so we stopped at the first of about 10 services on our outbound journey...
    The journey from this point consisted of rapping to Cypress Hill and Dr Dre and stopping at every services we could find and having to pull up at the side of the motorway to defrost Millhouse's van!

    By the time we arrived in the wastelands of Scotland, it was gone midnight, which was ideal. We geared up and headed towards the red lights, high above Inverkip. It was then time to battle with tree's, fences and razor wire.

    A hop skip and a jump later and i was wrapping myself in tin foil ready for a cold nights "sleep" in a control room that was well into the minuses.

    I'll be honest, I can't be arsed typing anything else so have some pictures...
















    Big thanks to HiddenShadow, Tweek, Gone, DrH, Fishbrain, Millhouse and Sho.

    Thanks for looking,

    Nick.
