TAKE NOTHING BUT PHOTOS LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTS

It all started with Hospitals and peeling paint, then came tall buildings, industry and rust. Then came the mines. Where to next?

I can’t say I ever planned it this way, I was sucked in, you could say. The need for decay and the thirst for the adrenaline rush remains, but is quenched with the hardcore pursuits of mines, hospitals, underground tunnels and industrial infrastructure.

This is where I will give you an insight into the world of urban exploration or urbex as is commonly known. I frequentley travel with other explorers in search of derelict, forgotten and abandoned hospitals, mines, factories, asylums, workshops and many other locations.


The philosophy is simple "Take nothing but photos, Leave nothing but footprints"

Regret nothing but the things you chose not to do. Push your boundaries

Alderbury ROC Post Wilts 06.02.11

On arrival at the site I had to straddle a barbed-wire fence and then found the hatch easily, it was weighted down by a large flint boulder and the hatch opened easily once it was removed. Having never been to an ROC post before I felt a little apprehensive as I looked down the pitch black hatch, 20ft above a dark and slightly watery looking floor – anything could’ve been down there. I grabbed my light and proceeded downwards and I was surprised to see how small these bunkers were. The bunker itself was surprisingly small and contained , a couple of cupboards, a crate and quite a few pieces of paperwork and documentation including fallout charts, instructions, aircraft identification diagrams and so on. This particular bunker was in pretty good condition, I gather from Googling around that many are not quite this neat and tidy, this one was apparently used by the BBC at some point in the recent past.
