What can I say about Chernobyl? The place is simply awesome! It had been at the very top of my wish list ever since I started exploring. Reading Urbanx's annual reports and seeing the almost constant stream of amazing shots on FB from those lucky enough to have already been just fuelled my desire to get out there.

When Mr Dan mentioned there were a couple of spaces left on their upcoming trip I jumped at the chance. Huge thanks go out to Mr Dan for the invite, GPSJim for organizing the whole shebang and driving our urbex bus, also for the rest of the gang (non members) who helped make it one of the most adventurous and laugh out loud weeks of my life. A special mention has to go to Henery who proved to be up for absolutely anything and to Eugene for providing the constant Maggie/Cheltenham Market soundtrack. Oh, and to Eric too ;)

Trying to whittle down 700 shots to just 20 or so (sorry there's 31) for this report wasn't easy, so here's a fairly random selection of some of my favourites. Hopefully a few slightly different ones to the usual fare.


Nice light in a random room

Awesome collection of photos, mate :) Love the Hello Teddy shot and the last Chernobyl shot outside our apartments. An amazing trip!
 
Outstanding mate
Really jealous; a trip here for me is not likely to bear fruit for a few years yet

I think the swimming pool shot is my favorite there
 
WOW. What a set you have there. Id say the best set from yourself ive seen. Great location this, and one I wanna visit.
 
Awesome shots and I am so jealous :D This is a must see for me as well and I hope I manage to get it done.

Again great photos mate, thanks for posting them.
