Ever since Ninja Kitten and Skeleton key posted Bull House / Fur House I was almost obsessed, I sat there looking at what could rival a euro splore but in the UK, I knew they wouldn't tell where it was as they had already said but I still did ask but it didn't get me any where
So I set to work , you see all the clues were there I just had to piece it altogether 3 days later I had it, I let certain parties know..they weren't pleased, it kind of left a nasty taste so I left it, I must say that this is all water under the bridge and we all know each a little if not alot more now , so all is good
So fast forward months and many plans falling through, plus Ssshhhh....and I, might just have landed an exhibition at a largeish public gallery and I so want at least one shot from this in it!
Planning here is pretty paramount I mean the Bull, stories of an angry farmer and people being arrested and de-arrested not good.
Ssshhhh.... , Luckypants and I were going for it this time no matter what.
We practiced and drilled the route which had us acting out our plan in Luckypants front room (bagsy not being the bull), after all we are gonna attempt this in complete darkness,...."ok over the XXXXX now which way?....XXXX....wrong we all drowned , start again, blah blah then what xxxxxx. no you forgot the bull we all got horrifically skewered, the bull is wearing us like horn ornaments...start again from the beginning....and so on till we were tight as.
Special thanks to Ninja Kitten SkeletonKey, and extra thanks to CameraShy, I must add here none of them told me the place initially and only offered advice as they knew I already had it down.
Ok on with the show....
We get to the place , hearts racing we are at phase 1 no need to worry about the bull just yet...we walk along next minute Luckypants makes a sound breaking the plan and points to the BULL sat just yards from us!!! wagging his tale like a giant angry horned cat gone wrong, thing is in the wrong F@@king place!!, we tip toe back the bull glares...suddenly lights, a vehicle is coming past us ..we hit the deck, we are in a bad place ,Mr Angry over there Mr bull over here and an undisclosed hazard I wont go into adding extra complication in case it goes udders up, then the vehicle stops our hearts pound, the bull wags his tail WTF!!! are we doing
What seems like an age the vehicle drives off again PHEWW .... but still the horned beast is ever present..time to move and sharpish . eventually we are IN!!!!!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ACCESS+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Its pitch black and Bull Manor is not in the best of health, its a flaming deathtrap in parts but we are in, we take seats in the darkness, the feeling now I can only describe as...
Remember when you was a kid on Christmas morning, you wake up too early to open your presents, but as the light slowly unfolds you can start to make out that they're there.
It was like that here, as we sat in the darkness waiting for the morning to show us the splore, we were sat there waiting, tripods at the ready, grinning like kids and marvelling at the wonderful shapes as they took form.
Ok you mothers, lets BULL!
The morning reveals this, can't beleive what I am looking at I was now actually in the surreal world of Fur House
All the old favourites are still here totally unmolested and unpilfered, no graff or anything, there are loads of little wooden egg timers , i placed one on either side of this luvlee...
This room was just fab, full of the most bizarre things a lot of which have faces.
I thought this was the coolest thing in the place...
Where's Wallis?
I have noticed from other images on flicker that there seems to be a couple of stamps missing or I hope else where in the melee, the furry thing is just awesome its a paperweight and weighs a ton
Further in into the fray...
the music room with its rotten but amazing ornate piano and in contrast this thing looked like it could be made to work one day...
Here we are in the hall , the stairs going up to another 2 floors, floor 3 is for suicides, floor 2 isn't that great either with gaping holes in the stairways and a ladder going to another section of floor 2, on floor 3 is a massive wardrobe leaning against the warped bannister threatening to topple over at any minute and I doubt this place will be intact for much longer, the whole house seems to be eating itself in its own unchavved natural decay
One of the star attractions to this splore legend, the epic library!
Sadly we couldn't get this to tune in , Philips don't make em like they used too
Check that rug , this is the room to get ready for a Furhouse Booshesque party
I crazily climb some strange tall ladders leaning against even more rot right under the precariously balanced huge wardrobe and find rooms in a much greater state of decay and filth
This is Mrs Hoover room
I get down the ladder in one piece to the sound of wood groans and Ssshhhh.... saying i was mental for even going up there lools
Its time to leave we've had our fill, we are covered in Fur House dust and God knows whatever, but we loved it.. problem is our exit is now the centre of a band of workers who dont seem to be going any place, we need to go, we have other splores to tour..still after another 30 mins they are right next to us literally, we need to vacate , we come out another way , an altogether very unsubtle way , but extreme luck is with us we are not spotted, we can see freedom can we reach it, but where is the bull and now its broad day light, we will be seen at the last hurdle , we dash for it bollox to the bull and where ever he is and stuff the farmer we are off but wait the bull! oh no's................

Unbeknown to us Luckypants used to work in the circus and summoning his ancient circus powers from yesteryear he tamed the bull and got a thorough sound licking for his efforts, nice one.
Obviously this not something I would recommend personally! we are protected somewhat here, remember animals can have bad hair days and be unpredictable.
All in all the best splore and fun times to date and the day is young
You too can walk around this enigma with me, check the video below you lucky peoples you
