St Magarets Esplanade 10th august 2010

Right to be honest i havnt done any research on this place due to the fact i was convinced i wasnt going to be able to get up to the entrance ..well without a ladder which we didnt have,so i apologise for lack of info as i just wanted to get in get report up and go bed!
Right myself nite walker and unclebulgaria after one failed attempt each and a lot of chin scratching manned up and got up the very old rope in the rain without slipping and injuring ourselves on the very wet chalk..didnt take a huge amount of pictures as it really isnt that big a place..Entry i do know was via an old machine gun post!!
On with the pics































A great little explore and quite chuffed we got up there,and more imortantly got back down with out any injury as its a lot harder getting down for some reason..the pigeons scared the crap out of all of us and the baby ones nearly got squashed,any history of the place feel free to point out , i would like to hear it!!

well done there mate, some nice photos but more importantly...you got in lol. Im really impressed with your efforts. that rope is nasty. Keep up the good work

was a bit of a struggle but 2nd attempt and we was up..thing is the beach is higher now than say a year back all the shingle has collected..still a good 14 foot up the rope and footholds on wet chalk
