A few things to say, this was my first time exploring so sorry if my reports not spot on, I’m very new to all of this, Not much to add as this site has been well explored but, a few updates to the state it’s in, I genuinely have no clue what we were breathing in, very damp smell just lingering around.
We got in to the site, and wow! I’d been dreaming of it since I was a kid, growing up driving past it all the time, the first floor we didn’t explore much, but the ground feels fairly stable, it’s easy to be quiet too, we went to the green door where the stairs are, and got up to the second floor with the pit from the 3rd floor is, had a look around a got a couple photos.
One of the second floor window boards has been torn (pic included) so watch out with your lights if you do go inside.
Quite a bit of graffiti in there too, primarily on the second and third floor but I’m pretty sure there’s a tag on the first floor, you’ll find them as you go around.
Be careful on the 2nd floor a few bits of flooring are coming up bit of a trip hazard, there’s also a window on the 3rd floor where you get onto the roof watch out for the glass that’s still in the frame, trust me you wouldn’t want that going through your fingers.
After being jump-scared by pigeons getting into the 3rd floor, we found our access point for the roof to scope out the roof closest to the silos on the far side of the factory, I went up the ladder and looked at the ledge, way out of my comfort zone, I hopped down and then as were stood there, we hear *bang bang* sounded like the ladder but it wasn’t, it was us just being paranoid, so in due course we all stood and made our move for the exit.
Side note: this was my first ever urban exploration experience and it was amazing, but a message to everyone including the experienced, be careful watch your step and keep your friends safe!
Apologies if the photos suck, it was early in the morning and very dark, had to rely on iPhone night sight.
