Late one night I got a text message from UrbanX asking if I was off work over the weekend and feeling spontaneous, I replied as quick as possible
as I knew it would be something special. It turns out it most definitely was, a Euro trip!
After a quick run round to grab some Euros, my passport, camera gear, clothes and toiletries and I was counting down the hours with sheer excitement.
I met at the agreed meeting spot, and introduced myself to Priority 7 who had arrived just before me, UrbanX arrived shortly afterwards because
the selfish bugger had stopped for McDonalds! During our wait in KFC for Senbell we had a look at our pins and started to discuss rough plans.
Onwards on our quest and we were boarding the Euro Tunnel, my first time taking a car on a train, an extremely strange feeling but we were in
France before we could finish an episode of CSI!
Our destination was Belgium, but we stopped on the way to check out Prison 15H, unfortunately we only managed to do the men's prison due to
time constraints. After reading other reports about the travellers who now call the prison grounds their home we were keen to avoid them, and it
was due to them and our desire to avoid 'camera tax' that we didn't get to see the women's prison on the way home.
We walked the outer perimeter to find our access point. This is the first time I had felt like this, walking next to a giant razor-wired fence, it was
difficult not to feel like a prisoner, but we were hoping for a way in, probably the opposite to most.
