Was it "hard going" getting up to the top? Forgive my ignorance!! but on one of the photos there are what look like two big white balloons - do you know what they are? Its the fourth photo down in the second post of the photos.

Parked about 100 metres from the windmill (even I can manage that far ) and inside there are 2 floors with steps like a ladder but fixed in between Last edited by Softy_Southerner; 1st Aug 2009 2:38pm.

It all makes perfect sense expressed in dollars and cents ,pound shillings and pence

Apparently IF (and it is a big if) the bats have not returned by the first Saturday in October then they should be open. If not then today was the last for the year
