That sounds great you will have to let me know if you post them there.
i am planning on joining the forums over at 28DL as i may be able to wangle access to some victorian spa baths that have only seen the light of day to very few people in the last 30 years i was allowed in there as a contractor to do some work a few years ago and was absolutely staggered by what i saw such a beatiful place hidden from view. It will have to wait until i can buy a decent camera but with a bit of ear bending i think i can talk my way back in to get some photos.
Then i will join the forums and make my first contribution

I used to think I was weird as I used to always want to be left alone in buildings to have a root around after everybody was gone.. then I discovered I wasn't alone. There is a perfect hobby for me; but I have not yet indulged myself.. I want to one day though.

I have spent the past couple of years on this site http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/

Some of the images on there are amazing but some are really depressing (for me anyway) the disused hospitals and mental institutions especially.

Anyway, has anybody done this?

Thats a cool site, will have a good look through that. I dont partake in urban exploration, I am clumsy enough just walking down the street i'd probably break my neck in a derelict building But I have heard of it and have seen it discussed before on Above Top Secret where there quite a few people who do it. Very interesting.

See this sort of thing facinates me.. Who lived in this beautiful little house? When did they die? Why has the house not been touched at all? I don't just mean by vandals, but by anyone. I mean did the people who owned the house not have any family? Who owns this house? I'm glad it's available for the likes of urban exploration, but it is also sad that such a gorgeous house is being left to rot..

[Lee.]

I can understand why I fine abandoned hospitals and asylums creepy but why a theme park?? This gives me the shivers for some reason..

I think I could only do a hospital if there was a lot of people with me.. Christ knows how people do things like that alone!!
Good luck with your next explore anyway.. Look forward to more pics

[Lee.]

Nice!

I'm a big Silent Hill fan and always think of it when I see these photos of the asylums etc

[Scarlett.]

Thought this thread needed a bump, this place is a regularly updated (its like a forum, but pictures are the main things) place to find Urban Exploration pics

Moved this to general, probably better placed here than getting buried in chat and games (in case you wondered why your post counts went up)

[Scarlett.]

Good thinking haha, deserves to be here more than C&G

There was this Polish hospital that became a bit of a local activity really - loads of us, through word of mouth, heard about it and how it'd been abandoned (I think because of asbestos...) so naturally we broke in and explored it a couple of times.

The problem was we did it at night every time. And it was all one level - just loads and loads of wings and corridors and it felt like a maze. Naturally, since we were like 18/19 at the time, we'd dick around in them and try to scare each other senseless and it worked... I don't think I have any photos from it, but I remember some friends of mine made a music video in it -tries to find-

Youtube video

probably best if you mute the music

anyway they tore it all down about 2 years ago because of the constant intrusions and it was a health risk
