I haven't, but I would love to visit somewhere that has been abandoned for a very very long time.

I imagine it's quiet an experience.

I've just looked at pictures from RH Haslar, that looks pretty interesting to wonder around. Aparantly the CT/MRI/XRAY machines still have power etc.
 
Been here too..

Picayune Strand.. The infastructure was built, roads, road signs, power boxes etc, and land sold to buyers, but it was all a scam. The place flooded during summer and lots of people still own the land thats worth nothing.

Agree with the lady in her blog, definately a very eerie feel about the place.. Just glad i was in a jeep at the time I visted, otherwise I'd of been up the creek, since a road which at first appearance looked just water logged.. i gambled on it, and it turned into a river, and the water started coming above the bonnet, no cellular coverage and out in the middle of nowhere, i'd of been screwed. Fortunately my trusty jeep at the time got me out and i continued on my little venture.
 
As mentioned, the 28dayslater forum is epic. I joined up just to search the archives. There's guys and gals getting in everywhere. I was astonished to see inside Battersea Power Station (which is amazing) and the Яussian submarine moored up in Rochester :eek:
 
OcUK Urbex Meet anyone? :D

I travel all over the country doing it :) - don't have much in the way of photo's online as I haven't got round to sorting them out :)

There are loads more. No idea where this is on the plot because I thought the place was gutted, but it's amazing inside.

On a slight tangent.

Did anyone ever see years ago on TV a program (game show) where a group of people where challenged to spend a night in an asylum that was abandoned?

Some of the stuff they had to do was insane! They had to go out at night and explore and pick up and take things back to the control room, one guy had to go to the morgue, climb inside one of slabs and lie there for 5 minutes.....:eek:

No but tell me more , seems interesting :D
 
A few friends and I are visiting some local sites over the weekend and on Monday, stay tuned for creepy places photos :p
 
Unfortunately, my PSU is dead, otherwise I'd stick up some of my Denbigh Asylum pics. I've hit up a number of derelict places across the North. It's lots of fun, but I've not been out to play for a while :/

I've done a bit of googleing, but anyone got decent link as to the history of the sub and how it ended up in London?

It was decommissioned and sold by the Russian Navy:

Rekindling memories of the Cold War and generating fresh interest after movies like K-19: The Widowmaker, Soviet submarines have won a new lease of life in Russia and abroad in recent years.

Some still serviceable subs go to foreign navies, but other retired ones may win a reprieve from the scrap heap to thrill the public.

"Look what's surfaced now that Communism's sunk!" reads the advertisement for U-475, a 92m, 1,950-tonnes example that was delivered to Britain in 1994 from Russia's Baltic fleet.

Bought through middlemen by a British businessman for around ?250,000 (US$470,000), the submarine hosts tours, school outings and private parties and was the setting for three films, said museum manager Gary Parkinson.

A guy I worked with recently came back from seeing family in Poland, and decided to visit Auschwitz while he was there. Without really knowing the history of it before he went, he said it was the most disturbing place he'd ever been. Right from the moment he got there he said he felt this uncomfortable sense of having the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, along with this constant, nagging sense that he was somehow being watched. He was struck by how eerily still and quiet it felt as well, it was if something of what happened in the past remained there, tainting the place forever. He was most adamant that he wouldn't go back there.
 
I went to Oradour-sur-Glane a few years back... Incredibly surreal! To think only a handful of villagers managed to escape before being rounded up in the church... horrific.

On a slight tangeant, what are the legal rights of exploring these abandonned places? I'm assuming you can't just walk in through the front door... or can you?
