i think they filmed an episode of eastenders or there, they broke into that place (or somewhere very similar) to try and find some old medical records so something

Heres some shots my brother took of the old police station, downtown san diego.

d three get in contact if you're having a poke around some places, ain't done any of this urban exploration stuff yet but have always been interested to try it

same here

only problem is i'm not really built for hopping over fences or running from security guards. if you do want to do some i'd suggest heading down the royal docks end of e16, there's loads of derelict factories, ports, pubs and all sorts.

i'll take some pictures from the dlr tomorrow. some of the places really look post-apocalyptic

sounds good to me, will do a session

sounds sweet as, but yeah like PK said would rather go in places where we're not gonna get a. bitten by guard dogs or b. slung in jail or c. fall through a rickety floor into a skip full of glass, which of course happens all the time

only cos i'm pussy innit, i'll look out for some good places, i did something like this in a way when i was young, climbed through this window of a BIG old house in dulwich when i was about 12? was amazing in there, bare darkness, holes in floor, rats runnin round, strange as fuck and funnily enough has now been renovated and turned into a ridiculously posh restaurant, funny seein it now compared to its old state

seriously, just go on the www.28dayslater.co.uk forum- search it and plug your location in- chances are some daredevil has already visited and posted up pics etc

saves you wandering around and avoids you missing the tidiest places

here's a couple a poster off there took from atop the hilton hotel in manchester- if you know it- fucking large....

dubluke · Post by **dubluke** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 10:34 pm

yeah but i swear part of the fun is finding your own new places as well as visitng places that have been already covered

dubluke · Post by **dubluke** » Wed Nov 28, 2007 12:13 am

just had a good idea for one we could do - battersea power station?? been a dream of mine since i was about 5 to see the inside of that place before they knock it down/change it beyond recognition....
