First report in a couple years, still been getting out and about but just been very busy with other life admin for reports, got a day at home on the sick twiddling my thumbs so thought i would write summit up about our trip to red sands last year. Did the trip with bigjobs, paradox, riddlers...

spotted this while out with the family ,made a note where it was and went back for a look one room at the back had caught fire and collapsed in on the sitting room , i cant go to much into detail about the fire , it wasnt arson ,it is due to its location and proximity to somthing that causes...

We didn't really know what to expect with this one, only found on Google Earth, few recent informations... But life can also be surprising, and this time, it was good ! ? Built during the 13th century and redesign during the 14th and the 18th, it was finally bought by a famous author in the...

This church had stood derelict for 10 years when it caught fire in 2011. The year before it had been bought by a muslim charity to be made into community a community centre. As you can see it was severley damaged and now stands rotting even more. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Well...

This was the 2nd quarry i visited on this weekend away and all i can say is wow, the place is absolutely huge like nothing ive seen before, i spent 10 hours on site and i dont think i saw even a 3rd of it, didnt get too see any of the low down underground levels as i just concentrated on the...

This was the first of 2 slate mines/quarry's that i visited this weekend, the scenery blew me away at this place as much as the explore itself, plenty to see here with all the old slate buildings pump houses etc, big lake itself is used by divers and hides alot of the good stuff, the lake is up...

This is the first house I've had the opportunity to explore so far, not an area that has interested me so much so far but I really liked this place, it's aged and decayed really well and had some beautiful soft light in there along with many items of interest. Visited with The_Raw, Trollface and...

Hi =] Been meaning to check this place out for awhile and finally got round to it last weekend! The subway is almost all that's left from Crystal Palace High Level Station, a terminus on a now destroyed line, which lead directly into the back of the Crystal Palace. Passenger numbers fell after...

This was our 3rd port of call for the day, the second was the woollen mill which was my 4th time and have already done a report on here in the past. I took a few new photos and just added them to my flickr album here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cunningplan/sets/72157642863616254/ Luckily I...

Went on a mini tour the other Saturday with a couple of none members and the first stop was here. It was the main Police training centre for South Wales, not sure when it closed but it seams a while now. I was told some photos were lifted and posted on a local online magazine and security might...

Early morning Sunday mooch around a choice bit of Birmingham industry? Yeah... Don't mind if I do!! And seeing as its a local job, I'll be back soon as I didn't have time to cover it all... With a WEALTH of machinery and gubbins left behind, I could have quite happily wasted most of the day...

Taken a bit of time but now up to date with my latest explores, this one was in two parts, Sunday and last night. Over the years I have past this place hundreds of times and after seeing it redundant have stopped by but never been able to get in. Then Sunday I had a text asking if I wanted to...

After our look around Tone mill, we headed west down the M5 and took a look here. We were having heavy rain on the way down and it was pouring down when we got here, so as it was a long walk we went into the nearest town for breakfast until it stopped. First impressions of the place was it must...

Second time down here (And a 3rd trip planned) as its my type of place. Went to Tone Dale the first time but didn't think what was left was worth the hassle of getting in and my new sparing partner just wanted to go here anyway. As I said I really like this place and we even found a hidden...

Working on a weekend should be illegal, so as I was in derpy and decided to go for a wander in Bordomiser. so the original culvert was built 130 odd years ago and has been added to over the years, it now measures over a kilometre across the centre of derpy.

Checked this school out on a bit of a whim with a non member whilst doing something else in the area, we wasn't sure what to expect having not done any proper research on it, first impressions weren't good as it's looking very knackered outside, however inside it was a real treat, heavily...

Info taken from Wikipedia... Littlewoods Business Empire. John, Colin Askham and Bill Hughes were friends who had worked together as Post Office messenger boys in Manchester. It was whilst looking for a new money-making idea that Moores came across John Jervis Barnard, a Birmingham man who had...

A 6:30 start made sure the ten of us were down at the Quarryman's arms as soon as it opened and stood by the entrance, ready to go at half ten. 10 hours later and a few tired legs we headed home, four noobs hooked, six explorers in awe. southern section later this year :D first...
