Got Home from work and decided to go Exploring to RAF Croft near Warrington so straight up the motorway and about 40 minutes later We arrived. It’s a brilliant little place to explore lots to see and no one there to bother You seems to have been a lot of farm activity in the past and different rooms have been converted to accommodate farm animals, but there is still lots of military things to see but the best one has to be the old Rover. The site isn’t very big and We finished it in just over an hour but it’s well worth it.
