I guess I should drop a few pics in here for the first time

Holwell Ironstone mine in Leicestershire

Don't know anyone else that's been in there apart from us

Came across this old garage and house in Upton Snodsbury, Worcestershire, but due to being on a very tight schedule and it being a bit in the open, didn't do a proper explore. Shame...as it looked interesting. popping the few shots I got on the hoof in here...

Hahaha, its rather sketchy to say the least, definitely the dodgiest mine I've been in so far. It's usually got a grate over it, so that might be why not that many people have done it, and I think that's been fixed again now.

WOW that looks tight!!

The roof bracing on the left looks dodgy and the slab a rock on the floor came from the roof, but you'd have to have a look if it was open, Proper Job,

Here's a few random shots from an interesting year of mooching..

Looks as if you had an interesting years nosing the shot of the cell was good, you got the shadows just so. I enjoyed it, Thanks

Not enough to merit a full report so popping these pics of what appears to be an former church now reduced to a shell and used by squatters as a roof over their heads.

It's near to the Bukit Bintang district of KL, Malaysia.

Noticed this boat and a rather cute caravan a while back, just managed to fight my way through the thick hedge to them today..strange no houses around...or sea! oh the boat is still on a boat trailer just visible!

Always intriguing about derelict caravans, why are the curtains closed because I like to be a bit nosey. The number plate refers to a yellow 4-door Morris Marina 1.8 SDL and registered in 1975 (from the Autotrader website). Is the remains of the car around somewhere?

Caravan locked....could well be a car around i may go back for another nosy, the best thing is there is no obvious vehicle access to the small plot of land on which they sit. Must be 20yrs of undergrowth/trees and stuff hiding the entrance...If the cars there it was born the same year as me!

Cheers matey. I'll aim to be a bit more active this year. Might even stretch to a location report. Shock horror

Many thanks, Jammy. You were born in 1975? Hmmm I left school in 1975 and got my first job as a green-keeper at a golf club. Anyway, moving along, maybe the boat, trailer and caravan are linked to the same car but if there is no access to that area, maybe the three items were dumped. Mind you, back in 1975 the area would look different. You could go to the NLS website and click on "Side by Side" which would give you an old map on the left of your screen and an updated map on the right. I would attempt to open up the caravan (with Police presence, of course) to make sure there are no bodies inside, because the curtains are closed and its locked. But that's just me, being nosey and investigative.

Thanks, will try that website, yeah would love a nosy inside the van. There is also a little pop up tent caravan thing next to it...They look a little to 'parked' to be dumped. Will return as the not obvious vehicle access is now bugging me! Think its just a lot of years and tree growth thats hiding it..

Dear oh dear! Obviously never had to enter and examine a locked/sealed area that contains human remains! The signs that this is just another locked and parked up old touring 'van are in plain sight - When this 'van was parked up (probably for the winter) it was normal for owners to draw all the curtains, stopped nosey people looking in to see if there was anything worth pinching. Our 'vans curtains are always drawn closed when we are not in it or it is being towed. There is no fly infestation on and around the inside of the windows, even though the toilet compartment window/vent is fully open on the catch. Human remains inside means the open vent would have been a direct route to the corpse for the 1000's of flies that would have been attracted by the odour and even now you would still see masses of body husks and wing remains around the inside of the windows, especially on the bottom of the bay window. A popular touring 'van in its day and one of the first all fibre glass bodied ones marketed. They even had moulded channels in the end panels that took the rainwater run off from the roof gutters, via short spouts, to the ground - keeping the ends and thus the windows relatively dry. The trailer tent is of the same period and they were very popular with people using the channel etc. ferries - lower towed height kept the ferry costs down.

Sadly this little scenario has not been that uncommon over the years and still happens in todays busier and more crowded times. It is quite possible that these were parked up for the winter by an ageing enthusiast, on a bit of out of the way land and that unfortunately they died during that winter. If they were alone or had no immediate family, these 'vans would easily be missed or pass under the radar. Far fetched? Well no; there are two such examples on the back lot of our local 'van park awaiting the legal searches for next of kin, before they can be legally got rid of or scrapped!
