Thumbs up 5 Exchange Quay, Salford Quays - 29-07-2010, 00:47

After heading into town to do a bit of a recce of hilton with ReubyRed and a non forum buddy we continued suited n booted in search of new roofs. its amazing what a shirt n tie can do :]

weve done plenty of roofs in town but some of the views from salford quays give a different and interesting sight of central manchester, starting to become a favourite area of mine.

not seen this one up on the forums yet so heres a few piccies...

















imperial point, bridge and war museum


such a good lookin lad :]







got these pics up straight away so rubeyred wouldnt upload em for me! :]

Josh

Awesome.

Always wanted to do this one but never got round to it. I know quite a few others who've fancied it for a while too.

Good work.

Did you get up to the masts?

Excellent, some cracking views as well!

On the note of the Hilton, I can confirm that alarms are in place now on doors btw, a friend of a friend is involved with window cleaning contractor and he said they were getting sick of ppl trying to get up there, and mrs Simpson non too happy from the last attempt


....Take pictures and leave ONLY

Yeah all the doors are alarmed now. I got clocked a couple of days ago and had to blag this security guy i was scared of lifts. wel funny mate considering you just been surfing his bad boy lifts for half an hour. Hahaha.

Ive had my eye on this beast for a bit and only the other day were me and a mate planning to do it. Well in, good work.

great pics, like the pic of the war museum,


You know, you really should keep a personal log. Why bore others needlessly?
