Howdy, long time lurker, first time poster, so constructive criticism come at me please. The photos are an amalgamation of the late May bank holiday and a few weeks later when Charlie Brown's was accessible. Life got a little in the way of this finding it's way here. This site is literally on...

I pointed this place out to @Grom the other week as I couldn't venture into it due to being there on a weekday and there being a hell of a lot of activity around the site, but seeing his photos he was sending me when in there I knew I needed to give it a look myself. Fast forward a week and a...

Don't know a great deal about this place, despite a lot of surfing and searching. After scoping it out and spotting easy access, I visited with @Bigmacky8742. There was the odd bit of bad graffiti, but not much sign of anyone having been there for a while, or much damage been done. The site...
