Bob,

I think you should have added to "remember not to trespass, and not to let anything fall on you, or through any old floors"

Just incase

well thats a shame, what nice cars they where, ( err so my dad told me) its hard to do a map of the camps, but i have managed to get a few, most are all gone now and built over, i have marked the civic hall in lowton which used to be the part of one, and i will google link you to the remains of some others.
