After a long night out with saxofilis and the loon doing some smalls ites (crane and reccies), and after a week of pre-planning, we headed for YLC leeds, arriving in leeds at around 12.
Even from the road i was surprised at the size of the site (excluding site 2 'down the road'). We spent around 8 hours there in total there. A lot of slow, but, extremely enjoyable exploring. It may be trashed, but the stuff you can find is really interesting, its like they upped of and left everything; books and furniture everywhere.
Quite a few highlights on this explore for us, in our first building, we seen the 'security guard' throwing bricks through some of the windows for fun, and at the end in site 2 i almost fell through the ceiling, i emphasis extra caution on some of the floors, holes covered in wires and cable with a drop of up to 3 floors! Luckily i only fell in with one leg
anyway i will cut the crap, no editing on the shots as usual, sorry for the amount, but i feel this place needs more coverage before it gets completely wrecked.

Our starting place, a now, silent workshop.
Just before we had out little encounter with 'security'
From the workshops (engineering, plumbing etc.) wewent across to the ovens, with new grafiti, but still had loads of interesting things to prod around in
It was the offices which i found most relaxing, loads of stuff to read, mybe a bit boring, but a nice rest it was.
From the roof of the offices and canteen, i was impressed by the loons invention for gaining access to the roof
...back down the stairs and though more offices
and, back through the ovens...
We decided to have abreak at this point, and gain access to the opposite side of the site, but with different access, due to security being in the middle of our venture.
I found this part really interesting, with some packaging lines untouched :crazy
Up the stairs...probably the most enjoyable part of the explore for me.
...and more of the things, couldnt get rid of the flare with the hood on, so i took it of and used it, to hopefully, my advantage.
I guess where more silos used to be.
Couldnt resist a group shot in this part
(the loon, me and saxofilis.)
Yes, i actually put the timer on for this one, sad, but fun.
loon looking focused
Finally, this is the only shot i got from Site 2 (down the road) due to batteries dieing, oh well always got time for it again
