Yep. Its another Portsdown Main report. But its my first explore, so I thought I should mark it with my first report.
I have been waiting to do my first explore for a bit now. And after failing to find someone to tag along with and waking up to some great weather. I decided to pick up my point and shoot cam and some other gear, and go solo.
I decided to visit a building that has been looking down at me from atop the hill on a daily basis.
As has been mentioned on other reports, the building has been gutted! Was a bit of a shame as all the rooms looked the same. Here goes!
After finding a way in, I got out my cam and did my best photographer impersonation.
Portsdown Main
The rear
Some kind of attempt to keep people out
Looks like a war zone
Main stairs
Main entrance
I found a few of these. They look like a walk in safe or panic room. They have a "fiber-optic communication" link next to them, so maybe a refrigerated server room?
Looks like someone has been crashing here. Just after I found this I heard what sounded like distant foot steps and talking. I thought that its was a patrol doing a room to room search and saying "clear" every few seconds. Don't know what it was but it gave me a good buzz.
The horror!
Don't think it will work.
Filling room
Basement level. It was pitch black and I didn't have a torch
(I'm still learning) Wonder what is down there?
All in all not a bad way to pop my cherry. Cheers for viewing.
