Years ago I went to visit my brother in prison in Northumberland,I didn’t know the etiquette and was a bit naive so bought a nice suit and shoes,the guard thought I was a solicitor.

Belmarsh looks foreboding.

A nice suit and shoes can get you a long way ….although there were signs up in Belmarsh warning solicitors to be careful about being blackmailed into bringing in contraband

Stripped it down to learn how to get into whatever it’s protecting without a key Dan.

 

useless to be truthful mC,I don’t need the code to get in,two different ways to be into that in under a minute,likewise these useless key safes that you get on air BnB’s,my neighbour has one for his gardener.

I just walked past a shuttered store,picked one side of the shutter in less than 30 seconds just to see if I could,locked it again.

Depends on the group and it’s a worry making sure you can find a venue that will suit the weather, especially with beginners. Takes a day either side sorting equipment and then you got 6 pissy wetsuits to contend with . It only fills 3 months or so of the year with trips here and there. Rest of the time I’m on the tools.

Many years ago when I was in YO I remember my pad mate the screws strip searched his 80yr old nan, as he was caught blackmailing other inmates visitors to bring in things they shouldn’t!

When driving north (usually to south west Scotland) I used to love to see the modified deer warning sings at the side of the road once I'd crossed the border. Modified by being peppered with shotgun pellets. Happy days. 

Yeah I remember them. And all the rabbits along the A75.

Most of what gets into Belmarsh gets in via the staff.....same as most cat a's these days.
