Check out the Help & FAQ forum for safety info, I don't want to be seeing any news reports about people injuring themselves!

I know it's easy to get carried away when you're in cool places, but it really is best to be prepared and take a few precautions, and to know what the risks are so you know what to look out for. If you don't know it's a risk, you aren't going to see it until it's hit you!

yes smileysal we dont want to burn down this beautifull place, it is a beautifull building and the work that was put into it i admire so very much, i just hope people can understand my view on it and not get pissy with me again, its hurtfull to post your first message and then get not so nice replys

 

[local-lass]

krela i will look at the FAQ now, and i do hope i have not made my chances of meeting new friends a no starter, just a silly thing that happend the first and last time.

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

Too right! I've done it myself and it was a totally stupid thing to do and my own fault through mucking about! Thankfully I lived to tell the tale...it is a funny story though!

Let's say no more on the subject.

Vandalism is a spiky subject in the urbex community (however justifiable it may be), and for understandable reasons I hope. It's best if any mention of it at all is left off public forums like this and kept between whoever needs to know about it.

 

[local-lass]

yes Foxylady it was funny to my friends!!! i nearly did somthing in my pants! if you get my drift, was a scary moment and i can asure you i will crawl and feel the floor before i get to exited lol

 

[local-lass]

[local-lass]

apologies, I was at work with a min to spare I now know the whole story and while not the best of situations, hopefully it has worked out ok and further explores will be less eventful

 

[local-lass]

lillimouse no need for the apologies! i would be just as pissed if i read somthing like that, im just sorry i did not explain my-self more and it all got bit out of hand, why would we want to spoil such a wonderfull place, i can hand on heart say i would never do such a thing unless it was an emergency i can asure you and it will never happen again unless a fire broke out (WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LIT BY ME) LOL. anyway lets put all this behind us, we all like the same thing thats why we are on this site, i hope to chat to you soon, im off to my bed i can hear it calling me! lol

OOOO a lot happening in this thread!! welcome local-lass, I would love to visit whittingham again but a little far for me to travel. if i am in the area i'll give you a shout

 

[krela]

If people do want to take local-lass up on her offer it would be appreciated if you could do it via private message.

We don't encourage organisation of visits in public view, security and landowners do visit this and other similar websites to see what's going on

 

[local-lass]

krela i was just about to say, if anyone wants to talk about anything to do with a vist please PM me.

 

[local-lass]

hiya King Al
yeah give us a shout if your ever in this neck of the woods, hope to see you soon!

Hi local-Lass, welcome to the forum. I can see both sides to this, I haven't been to a building that is unstable yet so I can't say how I'd react so no judgement is being passed by dungbug. You seem to have a natural appreciation for derelicts & good intentions, just a situation gone bad is the way I read it. I visited a derelict farm which was being lived in by a homeless person who wasn't friendly in the slightest! (trip wires.......looking for me with bricks in his hands.......you get the idea), just stay cool and put it down to experience. I've always been on my own with the sites I've visited, I think after reading this I'll take a friend along. I never thought what I'd do if I got injured or trapped, Mrs Dungbug has no interest in it really (although she likes the photo's).........I'll drag a friend along to the next site.

Enjoy your stay, look forward to seeing some photo's!

 

[local-lass]

Hi dungbug,
yes i would recomend taking a friend, im just glad i did on my last vist to this site, they had to pull me out of the floor and put it this way i aint a size 8!!! the thing is when i tell people about my intrests same as with my friends we get funny looks all because we are in our early 20's people think we should be ripping the place up or out getting drunk and causing arggo were ever we go!
its not nice being put into that sort of group because we really do enjoy going round this site, just a shame its being ripped down in a year or so. well thankyou for your post and if ur up this way give us a shout can sort somthing out.

 

[dungbug]

Thank you for the offer, I wouldn't worry about it. The fact that you're on here would tell me that it was for interest, not to vandalise. I'm in the same boat, people think I'm at the site to smash stuff or 'shoot up'...........D'you think its my Mohican that gives that impression?

 

[local-lass]

LOL Mmmmm could be dungbug, but people shouldnt pass judgment before they know whats going on!
i cant wait to get back to whittingham after xmas i love being there but dont in a way lol, it can be scary somtimes! of course this place is huge and have alot of groups going round and most of them time you will never cross paths but when you hear somthing you do wonder was that another group or a spook LOL, im addicted to doing stuff like this it gives me such a buzz do you get that same feeling?
lol

 

[dungbug]

I do! I've always gone to sites on my own though, knowing that no one is around...............But when someone appears its a bit of a shock!

 

[local-lass]

i think i better keep a extra pair pants in my bag! cos after my last trip there i nearly needed them lol, it does get a bit on the scary side now and again, i am learning to control myself and not run off like a did on the first few times lol.
