urban exploration

sworks · 12th April 2008, 21:48

Been having pc problems so i have been catching up with my camera, Last night i did my first urban exploration at an old hotel a few miles away. Excellent fun and a good source of interesting photos. Anybody else had ago?

I used to love noseying round old places many, many years ago, the days before CCTV, barbed wire & security guards.

Being brought up on RAF bases there was always somewhere to explore, and one of my old schools in Germany had once been a Hospital & Gestapo HQ. Loads to see & do there.

You a fan of the 28 days later site? I spend many an hour looking through that place.

I know a group has done the art deco 1930s military building on top of Portsdown hill just outside Portsmouth. I was told the pics were going onto 28 days but have never found them, if anyone knows where they are could they let me know please.

Cheers

Urbex is one of the reasons I invested in a new camera - Birmingham is teeming with hidden gems that I would love to have a look at.

very good- Im also an avid reader of 28 days later, but have never ventured anywhere further than some old air raid shelters near us. did fin the entrance to an old hillside observation post the other week ( although judging by the signeage it wasnt lost !!!!!), the trapdoor didnt appear to be locked but didnt go in
