This was a visit that almost didn't happen - with a strict schedule to keep, which began with a 1:30am alarm call, car trouble en-route and then a minor issue with the first access point, so it was with huge relief that we finally found ourselves inside.
This place had been near the top of my list for a very long time and it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. It's so true when everyone says that unless you've been in you really can't even begin to get an idea of the sheer size of the place, or how easy it is to get lost in the huge maze of corridors.
Despite the place being largely bare it still retains much character and an atmosphere of eerie calm. I found it to be beautiful on so many levels - the long sweeping corridors that went on forever, the high ceilings and tall windows that flooded the rooms with light and the peely paint that set the scene in every room. I fell in love with the place as soon as we made it through the perimeter and were greeted by the view of the huge complex of buildings.
We managed 5 hours inside in total before being discovered by a very pleasant secca, who then escorted us for almost a mile until we were outside the perimeter. This in itself proved interesting as it gave us ample opportunity to ask all kinds of questions. The 5 hours were not enough and I know there is still much more to see.
Explored in the company of Priority 7, Covert Urbex and Urbanekul. There is a lot to be said about the company you keep on an explore and as ever this was calm and relaxed but great fun and not without its comedy moments
The history has been well documented so I won't waste any more time with text and will press on with the photographs. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
