About a month ago now, I introduced myself on here and said I'd post some pics but I broke my laptop and went on holiday in that time, but I have been reading away on your site for weeks now and have made friends with a guy who lives near me through here, so that's cool. Anyway. I finally have our Harperbury pics.
I know it's been done loads of times. I have done a few explores before this but never really knew that it was as much of a hobby for people until I came on here. Then I found out about Harperbury and thought why not! So... I met my best friend after work drinks on a Friday night so I was probably a little tipsy but raring to go. Got some torches and a map and set off. I know it as Shenley Mental hospital and it's always been known about round here but I had never been there before. So with me drunkenly giving directions we got lost, nearly ended up in South Mimms then found it! Met some chavvy guys (one was a complete dickhead who had been nicking roofing and wiring from the building, probably the reason it's so run down) but he actually bottled it and went back to the car, leaving us with his friends who were quite sweet.
We got round about 4 or 5 of the villas but never found the padded cells. I was well pleased for a first explore though and am considering going back in the day just because not knowing the site made it really confusing in the dark. Anyway, hope my pics aren't too rubbish. I'm no professional!
Also. Sorry for any typos... long day at work and just wanted to get it all out and finally show you guys my pics!
PS if there are too many pictures, I apologise. Feel free to take some off. A bit over excited see!!
