If you're looking for anyone to explore with, feel free to DM. I'm in Wiltshire so not far.

Welcome along, get some reports up

What? I have to post a solo report? Is this some kind of initiation?! lol

You've had one offer to meet up, which is more than most people with zero reports get. You'll struggle to find many people who are willing to meet up with some stranger from the Internet without showing at least a little bit of what they can expect.

No, I wrote the comment asking the other person to meet up!!

I get that meeting up with strangers from the internet is scary but also, so is going into derelict buildings alone? What if you discover some creepy shit in one??? I'd rather chance it with a stranger tbh

It's more about the fact that these places aren't always easy to access and also can be quite hazardous. If no one knows your abilities or risk appetite then they could just be agreeing to take a complete liability with them. It could end in getting arrested, failing entirely or having to get someone out of a site after they've injured themselves.

Posting reports demonstrates to other members that you are actually serious about exploring and also that you have the common sense and capabilities to tag along with them.

The cons outweigh the benifits of taking new members along with you so most won't bother making the effort if you haven't made any effort to get out and find things and contribute to the community.
