This years trip has been a long time coming, and we were all extremely pleased to be crossing the channel once again.
The weather was superb, and even when we did have rain it created the perfect atmosphere. Visited over a few days with Havoc and Jaff.
See Havocs report: http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=12600
Our first stop was Hospital SM, it was closing in stages and the buildings were in varying condition.
After Hospital SM, i forget which order we saw stuff - shortly afterwards was Monstzen Gare Train depot.
Glass works
Back to the campsite for some food, then a very quick nosey at the newly fortified Lemaire Sanatorium
Art Deco Hospital Dolhain, reminded me of Lemaire. Incredible 1960's Magirus Deutz fire truck parked outside
Youtube video of a truck with the same engine

Second night was spent at Chateau De Miranda \ Noisy. Woke up very early on to find the place surrounded in mist. Very atmospheric.
Train Depot de 'Bonjour' - Serious machinery.
Hospital HH. abandoned recently - mortuary in the basement.
Headstocks at Winterslag mine
Chateau 98. Very posh. photos don't do it justice.
Stella Artois, some alternative views.
Bloso Hofstade swimming pool. Rude not to have a swim.....

Lastly, I am very pleased to inform you, Kasteel van Mesen is still standing!
Enjoy.....

When you said you went swimming, I didn't realise it was at an abandoned swimming pool!
