Hello, I'm grateful to be here, I'm an amateur film & digital photographer who enjoys spending part of my weekend going out and taking photographs, I have watched many videos and seen other explorers over the past few years and always enjoyed seeing the content, I am aware that there are rogue explorers who are just in it for the social media presence and i have also seen the effects of what happens when too many people find these places.. it ruins the experience. I have explored a few places around the greater Manchester area (Salford, Heaton Moor, Clayton, Cheetham Hill Bolton, with 50/50 luck. Have travelled to Northwich, Wigan and Knutsford. We dont mind the travel if we have the chance to explore exciting places. The places I have visited have probably been over done to death but i feel that this is just how i imagine anyone would get into this hobby.
My interest are bunkers, mills, factories, large stately homes, ( I know pictures or posts about houses are forbidden here) anywhere the would yield a nice obscure/different photo opportunity.
For safety I normally go with my brother and will generally make a judgement between each other if we would proceed or not and have a general plan of action in the event one of us gets injured.
Our primitive arsenal are head torches, a panel lamp, hand torch backup and my camera bag ( though to be fair i have found my phone a much easier performer in dull/dark conditions without the flash to cause a giveaway.
Over the last 2 months we have visited and explored 5 locations successfully and 5 locations that have not been viable for us to proceed.
I have plenty of pictures, but for now I want to just introduce myself here.
Kind regards!
