There are loads of reports on the rest of the holiday park but non feature the swimming pool, only @albino-jay and myself have done it as far as I know. It's belled up, double boarded and used by the fire brigade for training - the rest of the park is left to rot but this is kept super secure...

This location consists of around eight separate buildings, situated not far from the beach at the popular Bulgarian resort town of Golden Sands. However, funding ran out before the apartment blocks could be finished, and as a result the brick and concrete shells have been left to the elements...

Have been looking around alot of the under ground delights in the Corsham area. Only got round to taking my camera on this trip... Glad i did as Sands has to be one of the cleanest and relatively un abused workings i have been down so far. Probably for good reason ;) We then popped over to...
