My first urban exploration , Scary as!

[Neilsouth]

Picked up another photographer as we wanted to do our first abandoned exploration , we arrived at the destination and looked for a way in. We found good access and climbed through , the place was big inside with alot of rubble on the ground (however it was wrecked). As we moved to the back of the hotel/pub we could see another part to it , but it was pitch black. On the floor was a huge trap door but it was welded shut, To one side was a corridor with toilets but nothing of interest inside apart from a nest of mosquito's

We decided to look for a way upstairs , where was the stairs! we found another side passage but this one wasn't easy to get across. The floor was gone and all that could be seen was a hole to the cellar a very nasty drop!

Found some planks of wood and made our way across , doing indiana jones style movements along the way. Finally we made it across and at one edge was a door , opening the door was a large slope down to blackness it was probably the cellar something we will go back to ( our torchs had bad light ).

At the stairs we could see more rooms one was a kitchen but this had another hole in the floor so could only do some shots from some angles. We walked up the stairs slowly only to be greeted by missing stairs but still we went on!.

At the top of the stairs was more rooms alot more , the interesting part of being upstairs was large holes in the walls. Looking through the holes you could see down into the cellar , we even found old bedding perhaps a tramp used to stay here.

Took more shots and left , throughout the entire time we heard noises and thought someone else was in there with us but with all the windows smashed open wind could easily make anything move. After the explore we left hopeing to go back some other time!

Shots coming later! , i'll post my friends shots aswell when he is finished with is.

Reminds me of the time me and my friends explored an abandoned doctors, everything was collapsing but parts of the building still had electricity etc, was very weird, however its been demolished now unfortunately.
