[local-lass]

Hi Guys im new to this site, i have visted whittingham 4-5 times up to now and we would love more people to come and join us on exploring this brilliant place, its one of them places you never get sick of! yes all the corridors may look the same but when you find somthing new you get a buzz, and when you do it in the dark its scary but funny, as i fell threw the floor last time, i am from preston and when someone used to say whittingham it was kind of a taboo subject for some reason but all said and done when somthing is not ment to be done you just have to do it and we are all glad we did but its just a shame we left it a bit to late as it is very run down now and due to b knocked down within the next year or so, thats why we want to get the best out of it now.
if you fancy a trip with us just let me know its somthing you dont wanna miss out on, hope i havnt gone on to much lol,

If your meaning mine (didn't know snappel had posted) local - lass posted somewhere else of her Whit adventure which involved smashing a window to get out.

 

[krela]

Aah I see, thanks lillimouse.

Local-lass, if you think that kind of behaviour is okay then I'm afraid you aren't very welcome here.

I suggest you read this thread.

I was about to sign up for a guided tour but dont wanna get involved in aggro,after all I am a senior citizen of 49!

well guys i am sorry but as my other post said on the other board my friend was panicing she was hyperventerlating what was i supposed to do leave her stuck in there, well if you guys would do that to your friends thats very very wrong, it was not my fault the floor caved in and we got lost was it, as i said i am sorry and if you want to boot me fair enough but at the end of the day my friends needs were more important.

I'm guessing your friend has asthma or panic attacks? If someone panics, it just makes the situation ten times worse. If you're with someone who starts to panic, you have to handle the situation in a better way than smashing a window to get out of anywhere. Talk to the person, calm them down, again by talking to them, try to get them to breath slower, if necessary, make sure you have a paper bag and get them to blow into that. Failing that, get them to hold their hand loosely over their own mouth and try to get them breathing through their nose. If they have an inhaler use that as a last resort.

Yep, been there, had panic attacks, and thats what medical staff told me to do, and also have asthma, so been there as well.

Lastly, Welcome to the forum. Please don't smash windows/doors etc to get out. That makes exploring much harder for the people who are actually interested in the buildings etc.

It WAS your groups fault the floor collapsed and it WAS your groups fault that you got lost. YOU put yourself into that situation and were found wanting. It's hardly the buildings fault is it?

If you aren't capable of entering a derelict building without making a floor collapse or finding your way back out again then you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place and you wont get much attention or respect from those that can.

That being said I sympathise for what sounds like a not very nice experience for you and your friends and I hope you all learn from your mistakes (because they were mistakes) and don't let it happen again!

 

[local-lass]

thankyou for ur reply smileysal yes she was having a panic attack and we didnt know what to do that was a last resort and we do regret it, cos we do like the old places and what other people have done (chav's) is a mess and we hate them for it, but as i said my friends health was in danger and she was more important,
i am sorry for what we did and i dont want to argue with people i want to make friends and go explore places with them, we really do enjoy it.

krela it was dark our touch was out and the new batterys did not work and as the floor is rotting under the carpet we could not see it was safe enough to start, yes we got carried away and not checking the floor before we go, we use the beems most the time as i said tho just got carried away, it will never happen again that i can promise. and as i said if you guys dont want to post to me i understand

 

[smileysal]

Just feel the beams with your feet and you should have no problems with the flooring etc.

And remember the tips if your friend has a panic attack again, trust me, it does work. I've had to do that to a few friends a few times. getting good at it lol.

ps, and buy a wind up torch as a back up

Like I said, I'm sure you'll learn from your mistakes... falling through a floor is not something many people want to happen twice

 

[local-lass]

smileysal thankyou for understanding, as you will know its not nice when they have a panic attack i just wanted to do the best thing and get her out, the only doors open were to the court yards and as they were made in a way not to let people get out, we were up the creek without a paddle really, we have explored this place before and for some reason we just lost our barrings, i will be sure to take 10 packs of batterys next time candles wind up torch the lot!!.
thanks again love

 

[smileysal]

Be wary of the the candles, you don't want to burn the place down!

Just take your time when walking around derelict buildings and keep using the beams. Wear shoes that you can feel the beams and where the floor sags etc.

 

[local-lass]

trust me krela i dont want to fall threw that floor again thought i had lost my leg! lol. we have been on other times round this site but we are still newbies at it, just like everyone at the begining sure we are aloud a mistake or 2 to start with.
