Yeah, but i find most places are gone or have security all over the place now. Me and a mate did do a cool mission into an old abandoned factory round my way.

involved sneaking through a gap in the fence, climbing on loads of pipes and up railings with all our camera gear and avoiding security.

Its pretty cool if you can find a good place. Id love to get in one of the old mental hospitals and find loads of old records about the patients.

the motto is:
Take only photos; leave only footprints

I'd find it hard to get into anywhere where i didnt feel like i had to watch my back every 2 seconds. My mind just race's through crazy shit and would make me go insane haha

see loads of places on my travels.

the old hospital on the way into southport would have been an ace one, until they knocked it down. just like the chewits factory that used to be in southport that stood empty for a while. completely gone now though

theres an abandoned underground communications post in burscough, the hatch is barely visable anymore. then theres whats left of the aerodrome (afew hangars etc)

Grieves Hall in banks, but apparently its pretty dangerous, as is the old mill in burscough (thats on 28dayslater afew times)
