Almost there now, just one more thread after this (I can hear the server breathing a sigh of relief already!)
These places are lumped together because either I don't have enough photos or they're not of the same calibre as the other places I have visited, so grab a biscuit or three and enjoy
Chartreuse Fortress - A revisit for us, we covered the older buildings last year but ran out of light so this time covered the newer 1930s blocks and had a good old poke around in the overgrown jungle that is this massive site. There is so much stuff dotted around the outer edges it would take a full day to cover properly.
This was just before the massive snow hit us, hence no snow on the ground.

Villa Albanaise - We had heard rumours this place was squatted, but only saw an old squatter's nest, no sign of anyone else. Not the best chateau out there but it has enough to make it worth the detour. Another extremely cold explore!
Note our footprints in the snow

Charbonnage du Gouffre - After the snow forced more plans to change it was onto the backups! This old coal washery has been closed for decades, all that is left is the concrete shell but in the combination of sunlight and untouched snow it made a great place to shoot so was worth the stop. And my goodness, what a view from up there!

Charbonnage Forte-Taile - We properly missed the boat on this one! There used to be many old cars dotted around which provided something of interest but alas they have now gone, all that is left is a couple of empty shells of buildings and a worn out digger

Tree Mansion - Another well-visited Belgian house in the middle of nowhere, not much to say really apart from it has possibly the most-photographed mummified cat in all of urbex!

Fonderie Wanson - After dealing mainly with small locations it was nice to be back in something enormous! A huge old metal foundry, it looks like preparations for demolition have started at some point but stopped soon after, what's left is a pretty impressive shell!
Yeah, it's quite a big place!

Henri Jaspar Institute - A backup of backups, we had a few fails under our belt so dived in here for a mess about, it's stripped, covered in graff and pretty ruined but the snow-covered rooftop balcony made up for it!
