Once upon a time there were two simpletons who fancied trying their hand at Urbexing and so one windy, wet day after studying many maps and previous reports they set off for Barrow Gurney Mental Asylum. Off they hiked through the cow poo and brambles until they reached their destination. Imagine their great excitement as they entered the site and crept around the buildings looking for photo gold, the lonely sofa, the hallway shot with open doors, the peely paint, wary of every slight noise in case it signalled the arrival of the dreaded security guard. And then,
“Ummm darling?”
“Yes love?”
“The camera isn’t working”
“Bugger”
Not the types to be easily put off they took the opportunity the very next day to visit Farleigh Down sidings having stocked up on batteries for the old camera of course. Again our hapless explorers trekked across the land to their chosen place and started down the mile-long tunnel full of hope and joy. And then,
“Ummm darling?”
“Yes love?”
“These torches aren’t really bright enough are they?”
“No”
“Bugger”
And so, learning each time from their foolishness they set off a third time to Butleigh Hospital in the safe knowledge that they had a working camera and adequate torches. Once more they crept around the buildings, taking shots of the pikey-ravaged roofs with a sense of growing confidence. This was going to be a good one. They found the access point and squeezed through into the darkness, torches ablaze. And then,
“Ummm darling?”
“Yes love?
“We didn’t bring the dust masks”
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
The moral of the story is of course Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Here are some pics, learn and enjoy.
