2018 Treasure Hunt Challenge

Like @OzoneVibe, the closest cooling towers to me are Didcot A, the now-closed oil/coal combined power station. Unlike @OzoneVibe I thought I’d take off from somewhere more rural to avoid the risk of nearly being arrested!

The cooling towers have had something of a reprieve as the whole demolition site has been a crime scene since the boiler house collapsed killing four men - it was announced in the last few days that the cooling towers and chimney will be demolished by the end of 2019.

Which will be a bit sad in some ways - they’re a real local landmark from miles around.
