So! what better way to spend a cold and frosty night than in a motorhome, having a mostly sleepless night behind a creepy old water tower, and a massive amount of Lol's you say?!?! well why not couple that with an early morning stroll around Severalls Asylum!!

I won't do the history, everybody knows about Sevs! Probably now one of the last of the big Asylums, i felt compelled to get it done. EVERYONE that EVER writes a report about Sevs, says OH MY TS HUGE, well thats because it is.... huge, you could essentially spend a full day getting lost, we covered i'd say 75% of the downstairs and maybe 10% of the upstairs, we didn't bother so much with the upstairs, its less derped, but less inetersting.....
There is not alot left here now, but peely paint and corridors, so the majority of the report will be made up by this!!
Needless to say the more i think about it the more i'm real glad i went, just to witness the sheer scale of the place and to walk those corridors....in pitch black... hahaha

Visited with Mr_TOBY, Shush, Thompski, and non members Steph, Pam and Dan

a final point......MICHEAL!!! we didn't meet him and i was really looking forward to it!! we spent a good 3-3.5 hours here and he didn't appear.. and i really wanted to meet him!! i was genuinely disappointed!!

PICTURES














































Thanks for Looking! - i tried to narrow it down but basicallys...i liked all the corridors!
 
Nice report, good photos. Shame you didnt get to meet Michael though...

Thanks! Yeh I was genuinely upset hahaha! Maybe he was having a day off! I won't lie after 3 and a bit hours I quite welcomed the thought of seeing him and using the front gate ;) also everyone always says what a top guy he is!
 
Great pics. You gotta love Michael. I had the honour on my first visit. Only been there half an hour!
 
Some amazing photos and a great report, nice one!

I really should get here at some stage....
 
Went 2 days ago and failed to find a way in even after 3 hours of looking ... can any one help ? or is anyone up for a revisit ? PM ME!:)
