Report of location and urban exploration experiences at site
I recently went on a trip to Pripyat near the Chernobyl reactor that blew up on April 26th 1986. I can just about remember this from my younger days, I would have been 15 and in the throws of preparing for my exams I think. I probably just thought that is was something bad that [...]
I managed to stay in bed a fair deal longer than I really wanted. managed to get out before 10 though and took the short drive to Hassard Cheratte for a second attempt. As soon as I parked up a guy parked up behind me, got out and started checking the locks on the location. [...]
Next Stop Filature EDP. I have no idea what EDP stands for but from the visit I can only surmise that it has to do with printing or production of garments. I was thoroughly underwhelmed with the location at first, ground floor trashed and full of junk, most of it garish, from what looks like [...]
Second day got off to a slow start. I didn't get up quite as quickly as I would have liked. I think my dodgy ankle may have caused me not to sleep too well, consequently I woke several times in the night. First stop was Organ Monastery. After doing a recce I decided against it. [...]
Second stop on my journey was Doel. I had other locations planned, but the weather was great, so decided to take a detour to somewhere outside for a stress free explore. This is one weird place, a deserted village, only three of four roads and to be honest, I cant see that it was ever [...]
An early start preceded an easy journey to Dover, the sun was out and the sky was blue. As soon as I arrived in France the Satnav took over. First stop RTT the holiday home for the Belgium Telecoms workers children. I managed to walk straight past it due to bad pin positioning in my [...]
I recently went for a trip to Marconi in Chelmsford. It was a solo explore and as such I am always very cautious and generally dont stay too long due to being wired up to every niose, creak, pigoen and anything untoward. However the size and the fact that it was a lovely sunny day [...]
Earlier this year I went home to Cornwall and did a bit of tourist sightseeing. One of the places we went to was a 'living quay' in Devon. This was somewhere that I had been to when I was much younger and quite enjoyed so thought that it would be interesting to go as an [...]
Some time ago a friend and I went to see what we could find high up. We had to wait around a bit and climb many stairs - however the views were well worth it. I would certainly recommend that anyone who has the chance to go high of an evening do it at least [...]
Yesterday I went to Hellingly Asylum. I'd heard that it was in the process of demo so decided to go for one last look to see the state of things and how work was progressing. It took me a bit of time to get in as I managed to get lost in the woods which [...]
West Park Asylum - what can I say?! 11-12 trips last summer, some alone, some as a couple, others in large groups rushing around trying to capture as much as possible. This is the place where I met my lovely girlfriend, learnt a lot about photography, made some excellent people and avoided security (not that [...]
