Sounds like a wild time at work. Could you imagine doing that stuff now at work. It was 1990 I went. We only went as it was near and a good laugh. We had a fantastic week though.

i doubt id get away with any of it, to be honest every job ive had ive been a drinker so it was second nature, a high functioning piss head

Thanks Jane. It's prob one of my older back cats.

Yep I had ones back as far as 2004 but didn't back my pc up, and lost 10 yrs worth of explores, I was gutted. Now I use an external drive, so from 2014 ish on Ive all my explores.

Wow that's a lot off photos to lose. You been doing it that long. Do you post your explores then? I only started in 2013 and got very heavily from 2014. I did not even know anyone or that it was a thing. Just was finding local stuff. And I still like finding stuff.

It was gutting to lose them. Yep I've been a nosey cow for years lol, being where I shouldn't. I guess as I use to work one side of the law, going the other side was an intrigue for me, plus growing up, I was surrounded by tunnels, empty manor houses and giant cement works, all called to me, as I was a bit of a tomboy back then.

Yep I post when I can. Not some much in last 18 mths due to Covid & ive MS. So vulnerable. But I have done around 5/6 outings, so got a bit of research to do. I recently did an old bus graveyard, and avoided workers next door restoring a 1930s open top. But Ive no idea on buses, so research is needed. Plus a London taxis graveyard & old glass business etc . So Ive some work to do lol

Heading into the main block which has an Egyptian theme I think.

Kids play area

Maintenance rooms. Basically a row of chalets that had been converted and a couple off purpose built blocks. It was at this point I am in the blocks right opposite the main drive I see security drive up the drive. So I stay hidden till they have left and never saw them anymore.

It still looks opem haha

So glad you are still getting out there despite barriers in your way. And you contribute so much to the forum with positive and constructive comments. Covid really did halt things in its tracks. Well for a lot off us it did, maybe not others.

Yep it did, and still is in some ways. Yes I cant stand not getting out to nosey at something. Im here everyday, to contribute & be part of the forum. Support & contribution is important for an active forum. Agreed some did break lockdown a lot, I just couldn't risk it.
