Bully for her.


Holloway, yes, UrbEx is technically illegal. But some of the explorers I've met with a greater wealth of experience than myself assure me that you're only likley to face charges if you trespass on sites that contain elements that pose a risk to the intruders or any staff if disturbed (or could inconvenience those living nearby), such as power stations, abandoned tube stations, MoD property etc. Other than that, you aren't likely to find yourself before the beak if you poke around a disused warehouse. But the getting 'caught' aspect is all part of the thrill of UrbEx.

It clearly wasn't. Although some UrbExers (like myself) enjoy the thrill of evading the attention of night watchmen, we don't go poking around occupied residential properties. Nor are we interested in removing any objects from the sites we visit. Please focus on the OP; and try not to make any more painfully stupid remarks.
One of our support guys at work is/was very into it - he's also into photography and has some amazing shots from his excursions. However he's also spent the last six months waiting to hear if the CPS are going to take forward a prosecution for trespass against him and friends after they got caught somewhere they considered fairly innocuous. So not without risk...

Claybury Asylum? I thought it got turned into posh homes for essex types years ago?


If we're talking about the same place in Chigwell?

roughly, yes, a few specifics aside - it starts to get messy though if there is any evidence of forced entry or damage that can be pinned back to the explorer.Someone who is blates exploring and doesnt come with any tools that can be used for B&E etc, then its not ususally an issue & the filth cant hoist a file up to the CPS - though if you start scaling the fences at Dounray or Faslane, then expect to be hammered. The CJA did give a few more powers but anyone with a bit of sense should be able to keep to the right side of exploration.scotch law will likely be different though.
Mid 90s some friends and I went on a midnight semi-drunken 'explore' around the old Tooting Bec Mental Hospital - all abandoned bedframes, trolleys and old phones and some very fucking weird murals on the walls. This activity didn't have a name then unless it was called "wandering around with torches seeing if there was anything still worth nicking".

I'm with maxxi here, so I suppose it'd be called SalveEx .

Basically find a closed up factory/institution and make your way into it. Anything you found curious enough to warrant taking was fair game. Nothing really had a value then, unlike now where walls lined with the ECT diary of the la la ward would be so recherch?.


Back in the 80' I spent an afternoon in an abandoned hospital outside of Guildford , with my dog, where she ate a massive poo she found in a disused bog.


Both events equally as memorable.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
