USAF Burtonwood Warrington 07/2008

After a work training course in Aintree I passed these on the M62 motorway, I returned a few days later but sadly i couldn't get into these ex USA hangers.

Fine Worsteds Mill Huddersfield 07/2008

Me and dave met up with Gimbulate from nwex.co.uk and headed to Huddersfield after an unsuccessful trip to a derelict swimming pool. Once we gained entry we found this place in a nice and un-chaved condition most likely due to the nice area it was located in. Gimbulate kindly let me use his 8mm sigma fisheye lens in exchange for my 17-40L, this let me get pretty creative with the uber wide angle of view.

Hartford Mill Oldham 06/2008

This was the first new site that I visited with Dave. After driving around Oldham for hours trying to find this site we discovered it was located in the roughest area I had ever seen. Un-deterred by the local deviants we proceeded inside to discover a huge empty mill although it did have an interesting basement

A New Exploring Buddy 05/2008

After a few months off from exploring I happened to get talking to a mate from work Dave about my adventures. He was very interested so i decided to take him for a trip to Blackburn Royal to see how he liked the hobby. After a successful trip I took dave on many of the sites I had already visited such as Whittingham, Brinksway shelter and many more.

I also discovered an awesome new internet forum/community called Northwest Exploration now know as nwex.co.uk.

I was also armed with nicer lenses a new camera body and a lot more photographic skill!!!

United Utilities Audenshaw 03/2008

My last explore for a few months, and sadly it turned out to be a big empty building with very few interesting features other than its sheer size.

Loxford Tower Mancheter 02/2008

After driving past this old university everyday on the way to work, I decided it was time for a visit after a long break from exploring over X-mas. Entry was easy although finding the roof proved harder than we expected. We had a fantastic few hours just sat on the roof watching the traffic go by on Mancunian Way on a cool sunday evening.

A Few Minor Trips 12/2007

Short on both time and cash at this time of year we just did a few visits to some relatively un-interesting sites.
