I'm not sure how to feel about this place. It's been both provider of several really enjoyable explores and one of the most unique, historic and interesting places I've had the pleasure of exploring. Yet at the same time I feel like I've dropped the ball here a bit and through being generally a...

We were over in Rugby to watch our daughter compete in the regional school sport finals. So, after watching running and swimming we thought we had time to go and check out Rugby Radio Station before the prize giving ceremony. The upshot was we missed her team being awarded 2nd place and it was...

Hi there, I was just posting my explore round Rugby Radio Station 'B' Building and came across an website saying that there is a planning application out for that whole area and they want to make 'C' Building, across the road, a feature. When we went it looked like it might still be in use but...
