Oooh me likey. Its a bit bond villain/Dr Evil's gaff isn't it?

[hungry110]

Here are some pictures that we took on our preliminary visit to look at this site. The caves are in the woodland. It's not 100% whether these will come up to health and safety standards, but fingers crossed they check out because they would be a fantastic addition to the site.

Sorry for the under exposure in some of the pics, it is darker than a very dark place down there!!

I'm jealous of you UK players who can reap the benefits of such abandoned places.

[RWJP]

This looks brilliant... I'm gonna have to do a trip to this site soon, and the Mall, and the Nakatomie Tower, and the Asylum... etc etc

Slightly off topic, how many sites do First and Only have now? 6 or 7? They must have a ridiculous number of staff...

Yeah, with the real estate prices we have, that *suitcase* would never, ever fly over here either. ~____~

We currently have:

Bolton Woodland
Heywood (Huddersfield) Woodland
The Academy (Rochdale) Urban
Matlock Woodland
The Asylum (Kidderminster)
Nakatomie (Coventry) Urban
The Mall (Reading) Urban
and now the Tunnels as well

I'm sure there's a few more hidden in the pipeline too...

Staff wise we don't run every site every week and we tend to have a North/South split between who does where...

[Felix Jaegar]

Now all we need to do is get on the Tesco club card scheme

[hungry110]

I've had a couple of PMs about booking in and where to book in etc.

To book in for Drakelow tunnels, ring Jamie on 07786075129, or Bibby on 07862288359.

There is also a booking thread on the first and only forum here.

How about the Bingo Hall in Reading?

Surely its part of 'The Mall' site?

Do you guys have any downloadable floorplans for The Mall?

The 2 are not connected together so no. As for floor plans I have produced a 3d floor plan which i have been attempting to get into Left 4 Dead, so while not as usefull as a normal blueprint it does give you a reasonable idea of the size of the site....


ignore the commentary.

This is just the basement level which is the largest of the 3, followed by the shop level then the 1st floor.

As to the Tunnels: I am so looking forward to the opening game. I think this will be one of the rare occasions our team will use radios as i figure one of us will end up lost in the 4miles of tunnel.

Not to worry. I need the entire complex really.

4 miles of tunnels will present an extreme challenge to even the best and most powerful radios available to us!

Very true, but it will still be more of an advantage than shouting.
