First go at Urban exploration - Chalk Quarry

[Matt_90]

well after searching the net and looking at others peoples shots of decaying buildings, old asylums and Hospitals etc etc.. I thought I would give it ago! luckily for this place is down the road and I have full access to it due to parts of the old quarry are used by a local cycling club. This meant no sneaking about and getting moved on by security and allowed me to take my time.

I was hoping for some better weather but had no such luck and had to settle for nice grey clouds

I enjoyed myself but unsure wether I want to be chased around by security for the fun of it, there is an old MOD turbine testing plant down the road that I might give ago but its crawling with security but the site is very popular with the urbex type, Only time will see if I end up heading over there.

Anyway the pictures - All shot with Nikon d300s & Sigma 10-20mm

There are quite a few places local to me id love to explore!!
Apparantly under blackpool tower there are some tunnels leading too the winter gardens.. bet they are cool.
And rumour has it there are shed loads of tunnels under the promenade. Mostly used as storage bunkers in the war etc

Get a tripod and a couple of good torches and the outside of that place could look really good (not that it doesn't already) lit up with some selective lighting and long exposures.

A good place to get started, if the MOD site is still owned by the MOD then it is a whole different ball game in regards to trespass and you can be fined/bummed by military police. If it is not owned by the MOD & has a private security firm, then give it a go!!

I did have my my tripod wth my this time round but no torches and also a lack of time. Next time I head up there I will have another go and give it a bash.

Pyestock I think is is ran by a provate security firm I belive I will have to have a wonder in, going to do some research first though!

Didn't realise you were talking about Pyestock!!

It is a privately owned site. Your best access is along the fence line. It used to be piss easy but now they are getting better at patrolling it.

When I went they patrolled it in land rovers, you were in buildings and you could hear it driving right past you, skidding to a stop. It certainly made the transition between buildings a little bit more fun!!

I believe they now patrol on foot and with bikes so they can creep up on you.

Hope you have fun in there, it is a rather big place!!

here are my pics from it...

I was busted at Pyestock and the Billy Big Bollox security made us sit around and wait for the old bill to turn up, who took about an hour and really could not have given a s**t lol

Made us delete the photos but one Photo Recovery program later and all were saved

Security were on foot and we were in wide open view in the test chamber that had been used in that film that I can't remember the name of lol

The walk right round the outside of the site to get back to the car was a PITA!

I would properly love to have a go at this.

Not so much for the photography, but for the thrill of it. I imagine it's a great buzz!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Great pics.

Few years back I went to Cane Hill for a bit of a snoop. Fascinated by places like this. Most of it's been destroyed by arson now unfortunately and being re-developed by corporate clowns. Very eery...

 

[White16valver]

Cane Hill is pretty much at ground level now

Only went once, was properly good
