View of our site from Camley street. St Pancras cruising club was to be kicked out from their location, that is why the site is not easy accessible for wonderers, but I managed to take a picture of this car park, reaching through the fence from neighboring Camley street nature reserve

Wandering in neighboring tiny nature reserve that borders canal also as our site I was surprised to find a pink castle in one of ponds, dragged by the wind it was floating unattached to anything.
