Urban Exploration
Anyone else seen, or even have a bash at this? Basically fearless b@astards will climb something high and take some pretty stunning photos from the top...

That one has caused a bit of controversy in the local rag... http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/...ht/?ref=mc

It's not just climbing stuff either. As this collection of photos proves...

I go past that building pretty much every day, and it's all boarded up and falling to bits, but to see what it's like inside, just left to rot, it's awesome in a depressing type of way...

I think it's awesomely interesting. Getting to see things and places that you don't normally see... Awesome.

Interesting links, some cool pictures from the inside of the theatre.

I grew up in NY, and there was a massive asylum that was the objective for these urban explorer types... before they had a proper name.

I myself never had the courage to go in myself!

There is another page that has a list of all sorts of "forbidden" places that these people explore.

Although I've never done any, I've been having a look at the 28DL forum every so often for a couple of years now. Some of the places they visit are total rubbish, but some of them amazing, especially some of the ex military stuff. Some of the international reports on there are really interesting.
