have you ever run into trouble?

[ljarrald]

have any of you ever run into trouble when urbexing?
for example have you walked into a room quite far away from the way out and been confronted by several smack-eds or has a wall fallen down causing damage or almost causing damage to yourself and/or partner or something?
it is obviously a very real risk when you go into a disused building. and a much greater risk when you go in as many buildings as some of you guys do!

if yes, how did you escape?

thanks

We got boarded in by workmen whilst on an explore.

Had some metal miners try and smoke us to death by putting a trolley full of burning tyres in the entrance of the basement we were in once. That was fun. :S

We lost our access point when secca decided today was the day they were going to patch the place up. Also ran into a scaffolding crew whilst about to exit a building

Oh yeah completely on purpose. We got out just before the fire brigade turned up and walked away sharpish. I was concerned about getting caught and done for attempted arson more than anything, I did have a nasty cough for about a fortnight afterwards though.

Iv fallen through a floor in a derelict house, a large splinter narrowly missing the family jewels! Ended up needing 5 stitches in my leg and glue on my arm. Not the best day out!

I quite literally ran into security at Longbridge, that ended with a very nice police officer asking if I had a Girlfriend lol.

After many weeks of watching a derilict farm, finally decided all was good to go. Only to wake up a very surprised "corpse" in one of the bedrooms. Some people live very strange lives.

Got our access into Rank Hovis/Millenium Mills sealed while we were inside, then the second time I went we literally ran into security on the gravel roads. That place is a curse on me.

On a crazy climb into one of RAF Upper Heyford's more impregnable buildings my foot slipped and I almost got impaled on a metal pole 10 feet up in the air, that wasn't fun. Left with a pretty hefty bruise on my thigh, luckily no blood.

This is something I have thought about myself have done quite a few splores but probably not enough for the law of averages to deal me a "dilemma" but have had close shaves with security, hell only only bumped into "others" on an explore the otherday for the fist time, a gang of chavs and chavettes, at first was a bit worrying but they were quite well behaved-ish altho later i had to shout f++k off to em as they were making little fires and making enough noise to wake the dead. Report due up later in week

Ha ha ran into a junkie a couple of months back so done the honourable thing: sprinted away, past my fellow explorers! You don't have to be the fastest in your group, just don't be the slowest

I know, it was nasty. I was coughing up black bits for a while. With any luck they'll have pulled some asbestos fibres out with them!

well i am for ever getting in trouble!!...having to hide,duck and dive.....falling up down over and through..padlocked chained and locked in...bumped into chavs..junkies..pikeys..security..even the owner once sat by his fire !! funiest has got to be..running round a corner straight into a guard with a cup of tea and him throwing it all over me as i bashed into him..and taking a photo of a cheeky officer taking a pee whilst getting very fed up with trying to find us..worst is probably the owner letting the dog off and having to hide in a room the size of a coffin with the only other door being to a drop below of about 50ft and it getting dark.,,so all in all not much really! oh and not forgetting just recently with SK having the building surounded by over head police copters searching for us as we played merriley inside...but that doesnt count because we didnt notice them..may change my name to lucky! How come i splore solo alot...?

 

[ljarrald]

police copters? :O it must of been a quiet day in the world of 'real crime' then.

i have gone on a solo explore once but i only went in one room so it doesn't really count. it was a massive place i'd been in before but i know that 'dodgy' people have been known to be in there, and attack 'visitors' so i decided not to try my luck and didn't go into anywhere where i could of been trapped from the exit.

There was that nasty faceplant incident that Medic Nelly patched you up with too. I forgot my Sprained ankle at Cardington too that was and still is painful to this day
