This is my first report on 28DL, so I'd like to introduce myself as a dad of one, from Manchester. I've been on a couple of trips prior to this one (Mayfield Train Station a couple of times this year, Vue cinema Pilsworth & Camelot Theme Park).
I won't bore you with the history, as other members have already provided it. I woke up this morning, 5th May 2015, wanting to go somewhere on a train to explore. I looked around 28DL and decided a trip to Rylands would be good. I got off the train at Wigan North I must of gone the completely wrong way, as stumbled across a rather large abandoned building that looked like Rylands. I noticed a load of contractors doing some work on there and thought my journey from Bury-Wigan was worthless. Deciding to walk around a little bit, mainly because I needed the toilet and also because I was so pissed off about these builders ruining my trip I needed a little smoke break, I found a little park. I walked around to find a spot to go to the toilet, and suddenly "stumbled" across the actual site I was looking for. Feeling in a much better mood I sat down to roll one, and set my camera up. I looked up and this really odd couple were walking towards me. I thought they must be having a gander at this place too, and they continued passed me into the site. I quickly finished my smoke and followed them in to see if they knew an access point, stopping for a couple of pictures first. As I walked in the direction the couple went, I "stumbled" into them having a fondle of each other, rather intimately. Hilarious. As a sole explorer today, I carried on hurridly, making sure they didn't shout a proposal at me....you never know.
Thanks for looking. More to come soon!
