Explored solo. Visited Bristol to check out a potential access point into the one and only Motherload drain, but unfortunately I couldn't go through with that idea in the end. I had to resort to the back-up plan, which was to check out a short culvert for the Horfield Brook — absolute laughing...

Explored solo. I first found this drain on the 20th of May 2023, back when I was just cutting my teeth in the hobby of drain exploring. At first I was quite intrigued by it, but once I got into the hobby properly later that same year, my attention shifted to other drains and I frankly just lost...

Explored with @cattos mc budget Just a quickie this one, this culvert is just shy of 100m in length and carries the overflow water from Black Dam Ponds under the A339 to join the River Loddon nearby. Only about half of the culvert is safely traversable as it narrows and drops into a "flume"...

Explored with @cattos mc budget Whilst browsing Google Maps a few weeks back, I remembered an area which had 2 circular concrete pads and a small building in some fields to the East of Basingstoke. Lo and behold after a bit of research I found out it's a disused sewage works. My mum used to...

Busy doing other drains at the moment but decided to quickly post this up, mainly to try different camera settings before doing the bigger and better drains. :thumb Absolutely nothing to it, just a 2.5ft diameter RCP which goes for around 50m before meeting a manhole chamber and shrinking down...

Hi all, i have just been made aware that the AA hq in Basingstoke has finally been emptied.

Visited with a Non-Member I was hesitating if to post this or not as it's such a small explore but oh well we all start somewhere, so this will be my first Report. After a long day of exploring small storm drains/culverts in the area, we thought this may be a good ending spot. I did take...

Hello everyone New member from Basingstoke here. I'm 15 and have had a passion for drains / underground sites all my life (Mainly drains though). It started with my dad lifting the manhole in the garden and running the taps in the house so I'd be able to see the water go by, it soon progressed...

I'm new to 28DL and urbex in general, I've only explored a few places local to me so I'm looking for a few pointers or locations to explore that would be good for a beginner.

This explore has been on my list for nearly a year now. After finding no one to go with me I decided to wing it solo and ended up being very rewarding. History: The Camrose ground was built for Basingstoke Town football club in 1946 and a covenant was signed by Lord William Berry, the Viscount...

i’m kinda new to exploring and i can’t travel very far but does anyone know any good places in the basingstoke/odiham/hook area i could go to?

Hey, I've dabbled in Urbex on/off for about a decade, the peak of which was Pyestock NGTE. Always been a lone operative, getting back into Urbex and this time I want to meet some other explorers. So please feel free to drop me a line if your in the general area.

I’m looking for some good fun abandoned buildings around Basingstoke

Hi All! This is my First go at a report so sorry if some things are up to standard, I will hopefully get better at these as I post more, Im saving up for a camera at the moment so I have shot these on a iPhone, so sorry for the crap quality of pictures. Anyway, here goes nothing I guess...

This Was a little stop while i was passing, Interesting little Wash house with Original Mangle etc in place still, I cant seem to find any history/background on this place, A friend told me about it as he walks his dog near it every day. It right in the woods next to a stream but also backs onto...
