hellingly 7.9.09

bad day at work, got a phone call saying come to hellingly. so we are in for about an hour, then from outside we hear “oi” and “are you in the buildings”, so we moved on hastily.

 A little while later again we here “come on we know your in there come out” so we froze and stayed quite for a minute whispering about what to do, then again “we can hear you, the police are going to come and nick you”. So we ran to the hall and hid in the gantry for half an hour, then made our brake for the car.

Mission accomplished.
