Recently I went further north than I ever have before, on an explore/fun times roadtrip to Scotland and the far north of England. Whilst it wasn't the most fruitful in terms of epic explores it was great to be out in some truly beautiful areas of the country seeing some new stuff.

Background;
A pretty standard office building and the 5th tallest building in Pontefract (Woopidoo). Currently disused other than the second floor which is home to UKA 24/7, which is something to do with boiler services/insurance ect. The upper levels have plans to be made into...
A quickie, but a nice one...... Villa Margherita is an abandoned house in Italy. An ornate staircase curves around into the entrance hall. The house has been cleared of all content but the architecture of the staircase and hallway is lovely. That's about all I know!

Another installment from a recent trip up North. This location was given to me as a tip off by a good friend who the site is named after.
Arriving in the area late in the evening, having only about an hour left of decent light, I decided to check it out prior to heading off somewhere to camp...
myself @woopashoopaa @telf1980 @dangle_angle @The Kwan and Emma all met to do another location but decided to leave it for another day and headed over to the synagogue. After first entering a outer building with the door to the main hall sealed scouted around to find another successful entry...
When I first seriously started exploring, like many others you search the forums for local places to go too, well one that I always wanted to do was this lovely old Lodge set deep in the highlands. Back in the early days of UK exploring this was very popular, but I never somewhow managed to get...
Not my usual way to spend 30mins or so, but the place seemed curious when passing, so popping inside finding odd trinkets and going up the stairs, it soon began to feel like it could cave in, inside is all light painted which showed a wall mural, (minus light through doors/ceiling) outside a...
Evening all:thumb
Another one from my little trip to wales, unfortunately no history on this place really, but seems to have been left for a long time. The upstairs flooring has started to rot, and brambles have started to reclaim the outside - making entry a prickly one! :unfair: A few nice...
What a amazing staircase *-*

The Tartan Tiger Bar hidden away and almost forgotten for many years is this lovely, yet mostly untouched bar in the depths of grand building in rural Scotland. The roofs are collapsing in several areas, it reeks of damp and mould, sounds like a perfect explore to me!!
A long early morning...
This explore was a fairly random find for myself, after a day out looking around my local area some locations I had spotted previously I passed this place unexpectedly. A quick stop, run along and peek in the windows to check if it was empty and had potential, creeping up behind the building...
What do you think, am I wrong if I say that every town has its own "porn house?"
In the middle of the town, a lot of memories from past lives await us hidden from the eyes of the most.
Let's go.

Hope you have liked it ;)
Stopped in here on the way up to snowdonia for a weekend of kayaking, camping and exploring unfortunately not as much exploring as we had hoped as we turned up at very well boarded up cloud house :( win some you loose some, consider that boat missed.
Its definitely on the rear end of its...
I don't like small houses.
Shot solely on my 30mm prime lens.
These places - this one especially - fill me with a sadness (as well as filling my lungs with damp plaster dust) I can do without on explores, give me a nice big factory or a mansion any day over...
I honestly have no idea if this is more suited to 'Residential' or 'Industrial'...but it's a mansion at it's core so I'll chuck it in here and see what happens.
I have known about the existence of this location for a couple of years now but always put it off because I thought it was long gone...
I have been itching to share this place with everyone, so much that I have been trying my hardest to not rush through the rest of the places just to get to it sooner! I rarely fall in love with places, but this place totally captured my heart. I thought I wouldn't see somewhere I liked more than...
Again a chance finding. I searched the satellite images from Google Earth and I saw a house in the woods. The location was ideal for an abandoned place and so I went there to check it out. It could also be a hunting lodge or a bothy, but I was lucky.
Lying around letters revealed that it wasn't...
This was the first outing of the year and first on our planned list thanks to nakedeye, but thanks to DC we very nearly knocked it on the head. I went with a couple of none members and lucky we changed our minds and went and had a look anyway and glad we did when we did.
We walked up the tracks...
We weren't sure what to expect with this place, the codename translates as 'crashes room' in German and 'strength cream' in Dutch so we didn't have a lot to go on, just one picture of a large control panel. We gave it our own codename in the end - Crack House, named after it being a hard nut to...
Intro
Maybe not worth a full report as it's very empty and it smelt quite bad... Still, I'll post this here with a bit of history. The place was once quite big and most buildings still remain including this one. The big three main front white buildings are in use at the bottom floor but the...
