High Up - Rooftops (Most recently added are first)
Froomsgate House, Bristol
Climbed in December 2013. Soon to become (yet more) student accommodation, this 16-storey buildings sits firmly in the centre of Bristol. Situated just over from the Former Magistrates Court, it offers similar views, but slightly higher. We didn't think this one would be possible for a little while yet, but thanks to a friend keeping a close eye on it, the time to do it was upon us. We were up, and it was totally worth it!
Tower House, Bristol
Climbed in October 2013. This has been a building that a few of us (not actually myself) have had eyes on for a while. I suppose I'd dismissed it, to speak of, not sure why though... So, when scaffolding appeared one day, going all the way to the roof, we had to go for it!
COMING SOON.

One Victoria, Bristol Bridge, Bristol
Climbed in February 2013. Despite this not being hugely high as far as sites go, it was still well worth the climb. Mainly, it has to be said, due to the location. Central and well known. Perfect.
Pro Cathedral, Clifton, Bristol
Visited in September 2012. A very nice and relaxed explore this was. The Pro Cathedral had been a target for explorers ever since 2005, so it was a must on my list, before it was too late.
Also contains photos from inside, of the redevelopment works.

Bristol University Physics Building, Bristol
Visited in September 2012. An interesting one this. Quite how we got all the way up to the roof, explored the roof, and got all the way back down, without a single person noticing us, is beyond me. Saying that, given how much we'd already accomplished on this site, it isn't surprising at all really. Stealth mode = we're in.
UBU Building Scaffolding, Clifton, Bristol
Climbed in June 2012. This was originally a back up plan after failing elsewhere in the city, but after doing it, I'd say it was better anyway. Clifton is already high above most of Bristol, but scaffolding that goes even higher? Yes please.
Sick Hospital Scaffolding, Bristol
Climbed/visited many times between October 2011 and February 2012. The scaffolding which surrounded the old Victorian listed part of the hospital offered some fantastic views of Bristol, and also made for an interesting climb!
Parcelforce Sorting Office, Bristol
The famous 'eyesore' next to Temple Meads station.
Visited many times throughout 2011 and 2012.
