Laydee Kaze 400 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 (edited) So, very recently I've gotten into UrbEx [urban Exploration]. It's not the safest of hobbies, but it is an amazingly interesting one. For those who don't quite understand, UrbEx is the hobby of exploring things such as dis-used, derelict, old buildings, tunnels, hospitals, underground bunkers, etc. The main point of it all is just to explore and share reports online to other people, but another part of the hobby is photography for a lot of people who do it. Tomorrow, me and MrMeep are going to be exploring an old, retired and buried train tunnel that isn't too far from my house. As far as I know, few people actually know about it. Earlier this week I pinpointed it's location by exploring the general farmers fields where I got told where it approximately was. Here's two quick snaps I got [Was completely shattered from the ordeal of having to walk along various public footpaths and farmers fields xD] Infact, I might edit this post and make a little report about it tomorrow evening or something, haha. But for now, here's a youtube video of someone else exploring the tunnel I'm going to be going to tomorrow! But I was wondering if anyone else does it?

Kyreth 194 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 I don't but only because there is nowhere like that near where I live. I'd love to give it a try, it looks like fun. I can't make signatures. Sooo... yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yehaaa6 60 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 does look like fun. but that would mean I'd have to go outside. not sure I'd be able to handle that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexx3 1,540 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 One of my old friends and his buddies used to do this. They explored this old sanitarium and an abandoned theme park here in Connecticut. I'll have to see if I can find the site where he uploaded all the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yehaaa6 60 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 I wonder if there's anything of real note and interest like that here in Utah anyway. everything here is relatively new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightive 458 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 i'd love to do something like this! But where i live is a 'posh tourtest city' so anything they don't want people to see they hide it -_- The only thing i've ever found is air raid bunker and that was to explore >.> there wasn't much! 1 Ivy, Sakura, Pixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 I didn't know it actually had a name .-. My friends and I just explore random places for the hell of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laydee Kaze 400 May 18, 2012 Author Share May 18, 2012 It's quite popular. I guess I'm pretty lucky because I live in a town full of lots of really old abandoned wool mills and textile mills and such. xD People also apparently go down drains o.o but that would scare me, so I think I'm gonna avoid that side of it! haha I know alot of you are from the US so I can't really help with places, but I've heard of a fair few good places to go in the UK.

Vexx3 1,540 May 18, 2012 Share May 18, 2012 (edited) I found their website. They called themselves Urban Underground. These are all the places they've been to. Clicking on them will show you the pictures taken at each location. Especially check out Lincoln Park. I love those roller coaster pics. http://ueunderground....com/locations/ Edited May 18, 2012 by Vexxation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
